You have to replace the mechanic! What TPS code are you getting? There are different codes for the TPS. Get me the number of the code. It starts with 'P' followed by 4 numbers.

It sounds like you have a vacuum leak or intake gaskets leaking. Try this. Start the engine and let it reach the idle it want to go to. Get you a can of Brake Clean and spray it around the intake manifold (it on the top center of the engine, you may have to removed a plastic cover) If the engine idle changes up or down then the intake gaskets are leaking hence your vacuum leak. I hope this will help you.

It could be a lot of things, check the gas cap, vacuum leak, IAC, may need a tune-up ( check plugs, wires, air filter), seizing pulley, timing issue (check CKP sensor and CMP sensor), sticking valves, misfire, Fuel line pressure, or an issue with CAT or muffler.Good luck.

2001 ford focus se sedan revs to high after replacing icv and tps

It sounds like the TPS was installed improperly..It has to be set in place with no tension on the spring loaded mechanism...This will cause the throttle to rise...I don't know what problem you had before replacing these components but nothing should magically go bad while doing it unless it is a faulty new part...Try removing the TPS ..,INSPECT it to see the plastic lever operation is in correct timing with the lever it is mounted to ...Look close with a light to see what I am describing then carefully connect it....I've seen it happen before...If not the IAC..( idle air control sensor )..will cause it to have a high idle if it is bad....),,maybe it was accidently disconnected .....GOOD LUCK..
