Yes if there is a problem with the TPS the car will run like ****.

Tell me what year and make the car is and perhaps I can assist you better in troubleshooting the throttle position sensor problem. The TPS is typically located on the back of your throttle body - check the plug and make sure it's not broken or loose, and if it's okay then you may need a new TPS altogether.

Default

if the tps is too far out of adjustment or bad it will throw a code. try adjusting it first before just swapping it out, also you will have to have the new adjusted as well.
