TPS no workie.

I'VE REPLACED 2 TPS today. Neither one works! Engine runs awful and reduced power warning. Sets many codes not even related. This is the throttle body one.

So you’re saying you replaced 2 TPS sensors and they don’t work ??…where did you buy them ??…do you have a DVOM and know how to check these sensors ??…they are basically 2 potentiometers…5 volt reference, a signal and a low reference…do you have a scan tool ??

Yes, I have a scan tool, but I just figured one would work. The old one seems OK.
thought a new one might get rid of hesitation when hit bumps.

So, is my car some kind of off beat freak? Ended up putting original
tps back in, was going to change throttle pedal and it's TPS. My harness has 9 pins and complete different plug. Haven't found a
matching plug anywhere!
PS...haven't been to a stealer yet.
