Check old tps with an Ohmmeter. It may be good and not your original problem. Check your Inertia switch as the car may have been bumped during repair.

Clicking sounds like a relay. If fuel pump relay is same part number as horn relay, use the horn relay to test the fuel pump by switching.

How to replace the TPS.

no engine option stated, and is key fact to know here.
eg:
The 5.7L V8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.

remove old TPS, and bolt on new.
its like 2 or 3 screws. no big deal.
but needs to be calibrated per fsm.
ill take a wild guess, 3.7L
3.7L Engine and 4.7.
  1. Remove air resonator tube at throttle body.
  2. Disconnect TPS electrical connector.
  3. Remove two TPS mounting screws.
  4. Remove TPS.
install
The throttle shaft end of throttle body slides into a socket in TPS. The TPS must be installed so that it can be rotated a few degrees. (If sensor will not rotate, install sensor with throttle shaft on other side of socket tangs). The TPS will be under slight tension when rotated.
  1. Install TPS and retaining screws.
  2. Tighten screws to 60 inch lbs. (7 Nm) torque.
  3. Connect TPS electrical connector to TPS.
  4. Manually operate throttle (by hand) to check for any TPS binding before starting engine.
  5. Install air cleaner tube to throttle body.
some TPS need calibration
to see what yours needs, read the FSM
or at alldata.com
or here. I think all engines here, are TPS PCM autocalibrated.

08 vw passat shakes when starting and tps light on

TPS = Throttle Position Sensor
TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System

The TPS is located on the Engine and is part of the Intake System
The TPMS is located INSIDE the Wheel. If you changed the RIM or the Sensor that is normally located inside the wheel is missing, it would cause this. The Weird Noise? Is that an Out of Balance Tire?

We need more information to assist you.

Was driving my 98 jeep cherokee and the check engine light came on then battery guage went to zero. killed the jeep the it wouldnt start bu heard clicking noise.waited a while and jeep started but when I...

check the fuses make sure none of them blew and if its not that then its proble a bad alternator, witch caused the ripple effect when one thing goes on a newer car no matter how small it will trigger a bunch of random events such as transmission not going into gear, i assume its a automatic i highly dought that the tps went with the low voltage, and if your hearing a clicking noise its either not enough juice going to the starter, or a coil wire popped off

I have a 1990 Ford F-150 5.0 with a no start issue. I have spark, fuel,and air. fuel pressue 40 psi, good compression. I had to replace the tps.

Check that the TPS was installed correctly. If not, she won't start. You have to align it with the slot in the throttle-body housing and turn it slightly to seat it onto the hole correctly.

TPS signal voltage is high

I had the same problem. I purchased a TPS on ebay for $14.00 installed it myself, then I adjusted and carb. Then my A/C started working and the truck runs great.

1992 K1500, code 22, clicking noise from throttle body, will not accelerate properly, changed TPS with no change

OBD Code 22 - Throttle Position Sensor Error (Signal Low)
The Throttle Position sensor signals the Engine Control Module as to the current position of the engine throttle valve. The current throttle valve opening is based on the driver's input from the gas pedal. The ECM uses the information from this sensor to help calculate fuel delivery and spark timing.

Symptoms:
* Extended cranking, possible no-start condition
* Lack of power
* Erratic transmission operation

Common Problems:
* A failed Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) would be the most common causes for code 22
* Testing the TPS circuit would involve checking voltage and ground from the ECM-5v is the normal reading between the ECM reference circuit and the ECM ground circuit at the TPS connector. Checking the TPS signal circuit to the ECM would involve monitoring the TPS signal on a scan tool while jumping the 5v reference and the signal circuits. The TPS reading should go from high when the circuit is "jumpered" to low when the jumper is removed.
