Default Help! 01 996tt, replaced throttle body, now throwing tps codes! running poorly

Was having an issue, where throttle would just randomly rev extremely high, and sometimes get stuck up to 4k... No leaks were found, so i tried to a new throttle body (01 tt w/e-gas), and now runs poorly, awkward throttle, and before had no codes...after new throttle body, throwing codes of throttle position sensor A/B... is there is a syncing method?? any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!

When u say no leaks u referring to throttle body and all the intake manifold hoses(lots of them and u can't see them all) or just throttle body? Have u spun recently going backwards wo clutch in? It can pop a hose loose or two causing erratic idle and ****ty acceleration. Mike

My WAG is -- if you *are sure* there are no air leaks is the e-Gas problem is at the other end, at the pedal end.

You can try this but I do not think it will help.

Disconnect the battery following proper battery disconnect procedure.

Following proper battery reconnect procedure after you reconnect the battery turn the key to on and leave it on for 60 seconds. Do not touch the gas pedal. After 60 seconds turn the key to the off position. Wait 10 seconds.Then turn the key on and then to engine start and start the engine.

Do not at any time until after the engine is running touch the gas pedal.
