First of all, autozone are parts salesman, not techs.
Codes never identify bad parts, just failed systems.

You need a shop with a scan tool to monitor the tps for activity to see if it is sending correct info to the pcm.

It is not the motor, it is a control issue with the tps.

Which engine do you have?

TPS do go bad but I have not seen many of them going bad. Usually it is a loose or contaminated connector at the TPS or it was tampered with causing the calibration to go out of specs.
