im not 100% sure, but just to give you something to try till the gurus step in. Try to do a reset and see if that helps. Clean the contact, leave it disconnected, turn the key all the way before it turns the motor for 60 seconds, turn it off, plug the TPS sensor back in and start the car...

I think that this is the one that is caused by the idle manifold pressure changing and being out of the SES error range. In HPTuners the correction can be made under the Engine Diagnostics tab and the Min and max has to be changed. I could be mixing this up with a different TPS trouble code.

I think that means the TPS sensor is sending more than the 4.6 volts @ 100% throttle position that it's supposed to be sending.
Take a look at TPS voltage. It should be no higher than 4.6 volts at 100% throttle. Could also be a bad TPS sensor.
On a related note, P0121 is the code that you need to open the MAP window up on, common to throw this one on cammed cars. I saw in a recent post you can tweak the expected airflow vs. RPM to fix this with EFI live - with HPT you just need to open the MAP window up a bit.

it makes the car skip at wide open throttle, is that normal?? because the voltage is too high?????? or do i have a bad rod bearing because the last motor i blew felt like this before it went, but this happened immediately followed by the ses light saying this code so im gonna guess that its cutting it out

ok yea so basically u just over-did the throttle body bump stop mod...and went way too far with it... obviously 4.6v is the limit because anything past that number, the blade begins to close again...thus setting off all kinds of crazy codes and weird ****, hope this helps..if anythin find a stock throttle body or just upgrade while ur at it
