Be aware the OHV and SOHC have opposite TPS rotation and appear identical. Check your part number.

SOHC

This guy -

shows that the problem is seldom the sensor.
He is correct in my case. I got this same DTC before and after installing a new sensor. It is:

P0122 Throttle/Pedal PositionSensor/Switch "A" Circuit Low

So now I always have a roughly running engine unless I hold the pedal down to keep it above above 1100rpm.

Turning the sensor through it's range while it is out of the intake tube causes a change in the rpm, but not much. i.e. I have 5volts to ground where it should be, nd a change in rpm while turning the sensor and am mystified why operation isn't normal.

Any further ideas?
