TPS / TC - are they connected?
#1
Yesterday my idle started going wonky - racing up to 2 or 3k - then normal for a while then wonky again.

Finally today I got a CEL and sure enough it's p0122 and p1120 - both related to the throttle position sensor - makes sense.

I do the wiggle test and visually look at the harness and it doesn't seem to be the wiring, so I figure it's the TPS alright.

Now here's the weird part - whenever the check engine light comes on so does the light for the traction control - are these two systems in any way related?
