The TPS is only a trim sensor. It has a switch inside to indicate to the ECU that the engine is at idle, so without it idle may be rough, but the car should drive just fine for the most part. Saying the car is driving like complete crap due to a TPS is bullshit.... also, they're VERY easy to set... I mean VERY EASY. The ECU has safeguards against running with a sensor that's too far out of range, too far and it ignores it. Unplug it and take the car for a drive, if it drives fine (but idles poorly) then it's the TPS, if not the problem lies elsewhere.
