So, ongoing problem with my TPS for a 2000 Zetec with auto transmission. I'm starting to think about burning the car......no, not really. Could the problem be not the TPS itself but the wiring to the TPS? Codes showing are PO122 and PO123 and P1120

You may already know this, but:
P0122 = TP Sensor A Circuit Low Input
P0123 = TP Sensor A Circuit High Input
P1120 = TP Sensor Out Of Range Low (Ratch Too Low)

bring your car over one day and we can datalog it and see what the computer sees for TP sensor voltages.
