Default TPS Codes with no remedy (p1516, p2135, p2101)

I've tried two different gas pedals along with two different throttle bodies and still have one of the three codes pop up on occasion.

I've wiggled the wiring near the throttle body and it didn't seem to affect the issue.
when it throws the code it goes all out with reduced engine power and the car sounds like it has a misfire. runs super poorly with no throttle response until I clear the codes.
it's gotten to the point where I keep a code reader in the car now.

help please!

any clue on the process of jumping the wire? tried googling it but couldn't find what to jump or where to jump it.
so far after throwing back on my old TB and porting it where it looked like it may have come in contact with the blade, I'm 2 days with no code. fingers crossed

The dealer service rep turned into a dick after I questioned why they replaced my pedal assembly without actually trouble shooting the problem and was pretty evasive on answering questions.
The work order said that they cut, spliced, soldered and insolated 6 wires from the pedal to the computer. He said that I couldn't really see the wires as that they were hidden or covered.

just an update to any having this issue, I ended up reporting my throttle body and found some scratch marks as if the blade had been hitting it in a spot so I sanded down the blade a little too and haven't had the codes come up for the last month.

Got to love it when p1516, p2135, p2101 are all throttle body codes with a problem in the TB itself; hence not a single one accelerator pedal sensor problems instead.

So looks like the dealer screwed you on work/parts that had nothing to do with the problem, other than just lining their pockets isntead.
