Check engine light on
Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.

TPS? Get a scan done to see if any trouble codes are present. Most parts outlet provides free scanning services.

Recheck the ground circuit connections and all wireharness connectors for looseness.
