Read this

Then go out to car, monitor the voltage with the multimeter and adjust with set screw until you get it to around .6V with KOEO (key on engine off)

Then reset TPS with the reset procedure.
KeyOnEngineOff
Pull TPS
KeyONEngineOff for 30 seconds
Key Off
Plug TPS back in
KeyOn
TPS should now use the new .6Voltage as 0%

I think that's what I would do, pretty sure

I had the same code when I put on my intake and TB at first but this is what took care of it for me. Cleen everyting first like your maf and tb if it looks dirty.
Unhook your battey and take out your PCM fuse then after a 5 min or so hook it back up put the parking brake on and start the car put it in drive for 5 min then in park for 5 min its called the throttle relearn process.
