Code P1221, SCARED ME something awful, I only cruise this car for twelve years now. I see different post, saying its tps and others gas pedal sensor??? I know there’s a lot of guys here that had that happen to them. How hard a replacement TPS? Runs fine now, cleared the codes. Should I change air filter first? Questions questions question, a lot of great info here thank you.

I saw/ read where an individual had reduced power and changed his filter and that was it.
