TPS problems
TPS problems Car is a 1998 with an A4. I have replaced the TPS on the Camaro twice since Novemeber. This time I replaced it 3 weeks ago after cleaning the IAC and a P0123 came on(TPS). I went through the relearn steps and the SES light comes right back on. I took off the TPS and reinstalled it, did the relearn process and light was off. I started the car 5-6 times and drove it 3-5 miles with no light. The next day it comes back on again. The battery has also been disconnected.
All the codes are a P0123, P0122
Any ideas as to what the hell is going on?

Try removing the PCM connector and cleaning it out with some electrical cleaner...also clean the pin area on the PCM. I had this same issues a couple years ago and this worked for me.
Well this is what we found at work using the computer on it. The live data is showing with the car at idle the TP angle at 100% When I shut the car off and turn the key to run, it still shows 100%. When the connector is unplugged it reads 0% However when it is connected and the key to the run position and you jiggle the connector, it changes to 5% and 14% and other numbers.
My guess is the connector that attaches to the TPS is bad being it changes value when you jiggle it. Placed an order with my parts dept at work already. Hopefully this works.

Im not sure how hard you are jiggling the connector. My guess was you were wiggling the sensor along with it. I was refering to loosening the bolts that hold the sensor to the t/b just alittle. The shaft can push againts the sensor and hold it at wot, but still pivot itself.
I drove the car 30-45 miles today and a dozen startups. We wil see how this works out.
