Your going to have to have all the computers in your car scanned for codes and get the exact code numbers you have.Its not going to be a easy diagnoses most likely.

I don't but my mechanic may,is
There an electrical problem as well like the engine harness wire? Do you think I need a new throttle body cause I change the throttle position sensor already and I had the computer relearn it to calibrate it.

How did you replace the tps when its part of the throttle body?You will also need a scan tool that reads livew data to monitor the tps readings for the first part of the test.
