this may be a shot in the dark but is there a relation between the 02 and the TPS?

motor is an H22a. i have a small exhaust leak between the downpipe and header. now can this leak affect the 02 sensor readings, thus throwing a code-7 TPS malfunction problem? i have hesitation only around 3k rpm. if i'm over or under it it's fine. please help!

 

u might need a new tps sensor?

 

i figured it out. the tps wasn't in the groove of the butterfly thus throwing a code-7 CEL. after the fix the o2 worked normally (referenced from my air/fuel meter).
