Car was cutting off while idling or driving. computer said it was the tps(replaced). Still doing it. Now computer says crank sensor. could this cause the problem
TPS not mounted securely.
TPS circuit short to ground or another wire.
Faulty TPS.
Damaged computer (PCM).
to fix this code you can try this:
Carefully check the throttle position sensor (TPS), wiring connector, and wiring for breaks, etc. Repair or replace as necessary
Check the voltage at the TPS (refer to a service manual for your vehicle for specific information). If the voltage is too low that is indicative of a problem. Replace if necessary.
If recently replaced the TPS may need to be adjusted. On some vehicles the installation instructions call for the TPS to be properly aligned or adjusted, consult a repair manual for specifics.
If there are no symptoms at all, the problem may be intermittent and clearing the code may resolve the issue temporarily. If this is the case then you should definitely check the wiring to be sure it's not rubbing on anything, grounding, etc. The code may come back.

Mine wont start, turns over but just wont fire up. I parked it overnight and the next morning started right up, with engine light on. Tried to drive it home but it wouldn't start in the afternoon again. Then the following morning it started up just fine and drove to the mechanic. He said that it was the crank sensor and it was buried in the engine so it would cost over $300 in labor to replace it plus another $130 for parts.
What causes my 2009 Kia Sedona to randomly cut off while driving?
while driving engine cuts off, will crank back up
