Two possibilities spring to mind; either the new throttle body is faulty or the engine management needs to be told there is a new part fitted. This increasingly applies with self-learning systems; the default values should be restored with the correct diagnostic equipment.
Other possibilities are; there was more faults present than just the throttle body or somehow the process of replacing the unit has created another fault.
If a basic code reader has been used to diagnose the faulty throttle body without that diagnosis being verified with more sophisticated equipment it could easily have been a misleading diagnosis.
A further possibility could be the new throttle body is incorrect, even though it might appear identical. Precise identification and exact part numbers are everything with throttle bodies.
I hope this helps.
Why did you replace the throttle body to begin with? These are just plug and play. No relearn to them. You may have to erase the codes.
