Be more specific. Have you checked your new TPS for proper voltage at closed and wide open? Why did you need a new TPS in the first place?

How did you know your old one is bad?

Stock voltage with the key on, engine off on the blue signal wire should be between .2v and .9v (ideally ~.6v) at closed throttle and increase proportionally with throttle position about four more volts.

What do you mean "I feel like I'm having to push the gas threw the floor board." You need to be WAY more specific in order for us to help you. Specifically, how is the car acting?

Have you checked to see if the tb blades open to WOT by hand? Also have you checked to see how far they open when you "Put it through the floor board"?

Did it only start happening after you changed the tps, or did it do it before and that's why you changed it?

Sorry but that's just WAY off and completely unnecessary.

OP, you need to check your TPS voltage before you do ANYTHING else.
