Welcome . First off, it's gona be hard to help you when we have no idea what kind of car your driving. Pretty sure you can test your TPS though. Just google it for directions.

Well I'm to busy to go and look up what codes you listed. Best thing is to list what they are. But if one of them is the TPS, I'd test it or replace it. There are directions all over the internet for testing them. That does sound like tps symptoms.

Code 20 is for the ELD. Usually when one of the codes is the ELD it's a bad ELD that's causing the problem. I would start by replacing that then going to the TPS.

Could be. what codes you getting now? You can test these sensors. It's a lot cheaper than replacing them on a hunch.
