Default TPS Low Circuit?

I just replaced this damn sensor 2 weeks ago and the car is acting up again and threw an service engine light. What the hell??? I just inspected the sensor and all looks good, where do I turn now?

The throttle position sensor? Make sure you installed it correctly - you have to sit it down in there and twist, then screw it in.

Other than that, check the wiring going to & from the connector.

Yeah check the wiring. Everything between the fuse boxes and the sensors and the ECM. Be a good time to check the rest of your wiring while you're at it to head off any potential issues that haven't reared their ugly head yet. Wiring is a b**** but sometimes it's just gotta be done.

Went outside and removed it and installed it once again and started the car and the light turned off. idk if it was wiring or the sensor not installed properly but seems to be working fine now
