Default TPS Question--- What would this be the cause of?

I have just finished fixing my tps wires on my h22a swap... first I think the harness had some hotspots in it or something, It is not fastened (the harness) down to anything and I believe over time and with the vibrations that we all have or at least to those that are lowered run wide tires and have I/E/H mods, that the wires in the three wire harness got weak and seperated from the harness connectors. I keep getting CELs and code 7s which is the tps I fixed the first wire thinking that I fixed it. However, I drove the car for 6 hours yesterday and the car bogged going from 4th to 5th. When I checked the wires I replaced the tps with a known good one and rechecked the wires. I pulled on the one I patched it was fine and the red one which again feel apart in my hands. I just tugged on it a little and it went to crap. So, I go to the local auto store and buy some heat shrink wire clamps and take a harness I found at a local junkyard and pulled the pins from it and inserted those pins into my harness. I spliced the wires then heat shrunk them and then electrical tapped the rest together then I used a zip tie and tied the lower section of the wires to a empty post close to the throttle body hoping to eliminate the vibration on the wires problem. I am hoping that this takes care of it. Has anybody had similar problems with their h22a swap. I think that they used my wire harness but I am kinda not wanting to fix this crap again so I hope that I fixed it......

You need to do a voltage sweep to check for glitches then you need to be sure it is hooked to the correct teminals at the computer, then do a voltage drop test at the ECM for this circuit.

If you need to adjust your TPS... but I think TPS issues would mostly be related to idle issues.

and how do you do a voltage sweep? I do not think it is a voltage problem however I could be wrong. It is something that either makes connection or it does not (not much in between) when the connection is broken it kills the tps and kicks a CEL 7. I have several spliced wires from the ecu and such I rechecked the ecu and saw no broken connections. I think it was a harness issue caused by vibrations on the wires within the harness. the wires old and weak shorted and broke off within the pin connectors. I think the car is leaning way to much on decelleration which cause some sputtering and other problems I might have a timing advance issue or something else maybe going on causing the car to kick the tps sensor. When the car runs with the CEL 7 and kills the tps sensor it runs real rich and actually runs better than it does with a tps so I think something else maybe going on....
