Question FAST 90 mm TB. TPS reads 0% at all throttle positions. Bad sensor, wire, or other?

Just got the Firehawk back from the shop after a H/C/Intake swap.

Can a bad TPS sensor cause this? Or a wire, and if so which one?

I'm also getting DTC 122 and 443.

Thanks for any assistance!

I vote sensor, Easy enough to check though. It's what, 2 screws, Swap one off your buddy's car and see if you get a signal.

Good suggestion.

I'll pull the sensor off my Girl's car and try it

Not the sensor.

Must be power going to the sensor.

Suggestions?

I am definitely leaning towards a mechanical issue.

I have an appointment with Formato tomorrow afternoon. I have never dealt with his company and only know OF him through the forums. I am PRAYING he is a professional and knows his stuff.

The shop that did my current work eg.

H/C/I swap and replace my leaking oil pan and shot master cylinder. Other than that EVERYTHING on my car was in perfect working condition with all parts present and accounted for.

This is what I got back:

They had my car for 2 1/2 months and told me for the last month and a half it would be done next week ... They said that every week.

They did NOT replace my master cylinder.
My PCM diagnostics port was NOT working.
The oil pressure and coolant temperature A-pillar gauges were NOT working.
My TPS is NOT functioning/powered or whatever (preventing any ability to tune)
2 gorilla lug nuts were NOT on the front wheels.
One of my Firehawk center caps is NOT on or IN the car (they are out of production and cost $100-150 used ... IF there are any for sale).
