All new sensors on intake even tps and tb is new as well

Well cars been running great except for a intermittent hanging idle at 1500 rpm until I get down to 20 mph then it drops to 900
And this code keeps comin up for the tps sensor

Bump for curiousity....
I'm having similar issues. Don't remember the code but TPS Low Voltage. 3.84v at 100% throttle. I think it had 4.8v ref. New sensor.

I am having the same issue with mine. I wish someone would answer this. My tuner said is not in the tune. I say it is. This code will set if your MAF reading at a certain rpm VS throttle angle is not within the set parameters it will set this code for TPS performance. I tested my TPS while it was hanging at 1500 rpm and it was at .68 volts. Thats well within specs. If I unplug the TPS it will idle right down. I also performed a sweep test and tested fine with no glichtes. It is a new TPS and throttle body. It has a card type LS2 MAF 98mm big, with PP 101mm tb and a PP 96 mm Intake. I would love to have an answer.

The TPS vs RPM test (lower) needs to be modified - For this diagnostic test the PCM will monitor the actual TPS position and engine RPM then referring to this table will expect the TPS to be above/equal to these values for a given RPM. For cammed cars that idle above stock RPMs the lower thresholds may need to be lowered to stop a TPS fault code being set.
