Default what could be the problem

ok I ran through a check list of what I thought could be wrong with the wiring of my vafc and I am kinda stuck---- I was driving the car and the vafc tps sensor status jumps around like crazy and goes from like 40 to 30 to zero back and forth like it is picking it up or something the car runs like sheat when this happens and I have no idea as to what could cause it --- it threw a cel light when it got bogged down and then it kicked off when I reset the ecu
I did the check engine light check tripped the blue connector and all I got was constant yellow which is no codes but my srs light was flashing
--- the car is running extremely rich and is not running right can anybody help please

the cel did trip a code 7 the engine light blinked 7 times for a code seven which is the tps which I do not know if it is coming from the vafc wiring or if the actual tps sensor itself ---

bump --- nobody knows about this?
the vafc check sensor reads .555 volts closed 4.360 full open and the throttle read right with ignition in II position --- when you start the car it idles fine -- only when you run it the vafc tps jumps around like crazy and the car runs like crap

Check a few things for us:

Is the TPS plug connected well at the actual sensor?

Where did you tap into the TPS wire?

How did you tap into the TPS wire? If you used a T-tap, then try stripping a bit of wire from where the piece of pinching metal in the tap will touch to make sure it gets a good connection. THEN press down hard on it to clamp it down.

Make sure that the wire is intact and not broken.

I am confident that it more than likely is the sensor itself --- I check the wires and and they appear to be proper order--- I took it to the dealership to have the fuel line ran to car the tps and the fuel line are kinda close together so I am thinking that if it was hit or jolted then it could have resulted in the voltage readings getting outta wack --- closed it reads .550 which should be .450 and full open it reads 4.340 which should be 4.50 --- so I believe that it sorted out and was giving crazy readings --- now it reads .0010 and the check engine light is solid on and I believe the tps is solid gone....
