Your going to have to wait till its acting up or the codes active then move the wires around while watching the map voltage.

how did you find out that it was a bad throttle position sensor connector and i think i mite have something like the problem you had going on with your car and its happening to my car but the car runs great for a week and then acts up when you first start the car and then shut it off fpr about two hours and start it up and runs great again

When I would stop some where the idle would be high like 2 thousand rpms I would go under the hood and move the wire harness going to the tps and idle air control valve and the idle woul drop down to normal the second I would touch it.So I knew it was one of those connectors.But wasn't sure which then the check engine light came on with a code P0105 map verus tps then I knew it was the tps connector.Also when the check engine light came on it would start shifting harder.So that was another sign it had a bad tps connector.
