Well the other day, my car decided to start throwing the TPS code, so i picked up a new one, and swapped it out. now that the new one is in, it still isn't reading anything, or getting a signal from the sensor. any ideas what the next step would be???

so i went out and tested my new TPS, just to find out that it is in fact working fine. what other sensor could possibly be confusing my car and sending it into the wrong loops? I'm thinking it may be the front o2 sensor, since my rear post CAT o2 has been deleted along with the cat.

When you say "it still isn't reading anything" do you mean the code is still showing and lighting up your dash light? If so, you have to disconnect your battery terminals to erase your codes, at lest this is done on a 1g dsm. I hope this helps.
