THe throttle position sensor is actually 2 sensors in one. One holds high voltage with the blade closed, the other zero volts closed. One drops voltage as you open the throttle, the other increases voltage. P1220 is set when one of the two isn't operating within spec, and p1221 sets when tp 2 disagrees with tp 1 by more than 7.5%. Long story short - you need a trip to the dealer or a service manual or both. Good luck.

On a serious note, what's up with Randy? Haven't seen him on here lately.
