Hi RPM WS6, I have to say thank you for sticking with me and I think we may have solved the problem. I've done TPS resets before on the ACDelco sensors but I think it was a slightly different procedure than the one you referenced and I also know I deleted the code after doing it. This time I left the code on and drove 2-3 drives, with obvious TPS problems, and then the code went away on its own and suddenly behaved exactly as it's supposed to. And it's been doing so for two days worth of driving now.
and credit to eseibel67 for the relearn procedure.

Glad this is working for you so far. Did you go back to the original TPS or one of the Delco replacements? Or are you still using the aftermarket one?
Hope this takes care of the problem for good. But if not, I'd look at that connector and wiring as the next likely item. It's possible that the connector isn't making great contact, and by doing the reset (unplugging/plugging) you may have coincidentally prompted a temporary improvement of an otherwise weak connection.

I'll keep an eye on it and if the situation deteriorates I will report back.
It was the Wells TPS. With only doing a replacement and no resets or anything, it was the only sensor that worked kinda well out of the box. But it eventually did have issues like all the others.
I did consider a bad connection a while back and slightly bent the prongs in the direction of the contacts to ensure a good connection was being made.
