Default CEL code 7

I looked it up and I know its the "Throttle Position Circuit" but is it a big problem? it just came on today on the way to work and now it hasn't come on again... I'm thinking it has something to do with me tapping into the TPS for my ZEX kit but like I said It hasn't happend before and I drove my car again today and it didn't come on.

anyone have an idea?

You may have a short in TPS wiring. Watch those wires carefully and eliminate short.

I got that same code then the next day my tach stopped working started getting other codes that where similar. That night car bucked and stalled not to start again. It was actually the Distributor.

there are are 3 wires on the tps sensor. check the red one in the middle jes gently snug on it to see if the wire lost connection. and if it broke find anther harness from da junk yard and solder it on.

p.s. i had this problem 3 times becuase of the red wire in da middle would snag off.

I am now getting this code as well, however, all connections are fine, I got it first, right after I installed an STR 70mm TB, took it off, put the stock TB back on, and the code went away. I replaced this AGAIN, this time with a JG 65mm TB, and once again, i am getting the code 7, i really dont want to run the stock TB, any more ideas as to how to remedy the code?

BTW, I found code 7 as "Throttle Angle"

it may be adjusted improperly (not within spec). you need to stick some long skinny micrometer probes up the connectors *** and check the voltage at closed throttle. it should be between .45 and .5 volts. if its not in that range, adjust it until it is.
