Maybe the problem is not the TPS but rather the TPS wires or even the ECU.

or everytime you throw a tps code you simply replace the tps instead of diagnosing it... sounds like your blindly slapping a new tps each time it sets a code, you do know when installing a tps sensor, it requires calibration and if not calibrated, it will set a code again

what they said, the problem may not even be the TPS itself!
and yeah u need to calibrate the TPS to .5 volts when throttle is fully closed and 4.5 volts on wide open throttle.
