Well, I just had this code with my 65mm T/B. What happened was, I installed the shaft with the TPS already bolted on. Evidently, the end of the shaft was turned too far, and went into the TPS at the wrong position. Ended up ruining the TPS. Then again, it was old, so maybe it was going out anyhow. So I bought a new one, and installed it with the T/B on the car. Made sure it was on right, and no more CEL.
Take your TPS off, and stick your pinkey, or something small in there and turn that dial. See if it snaps back like the T/B plate would. If not, you may need a new TPS.

if the sensor isnt working correctly, would it hinder performance or idle you think?

the simplest thing that could be wrong is that there is a dirty connection at the sensor.
Take the plug off the sensor. I believe that the side of the plug with the wires is the side of the connector with the sockets and the prongs are on the sensor.
Get some electrical contact cleaner and spray both sides of the plug to flush out and dissolve any junk that is in there. Don't be shy with the cleaner and make sure you get the cleaner sprayed into the sockets real well. Then take the plug and plug it in and pull it out, do that a few times. This way as the pins go into the sockets they'll rub each other clean. Then spray it out again. If you have some bulb grease, (I call it di-electric grease) with your finger, or something, with a dab of the grease on it, fill in the sockets with the grease and then wipe a little on the rubber seal but use only enough grease to make the rubber shiny (it will help it go together easier and help keep out moisture.
Then reset the conputer to clear the code and see what happens.
Sounds good. I already put some dielectric grease in there, but didn't clean it out. I'll give it a try. THANKS!

I don't have an SVT tb. But there was some confusion at AZone when I bought the TPS. He looked it up in the computer and went and got it and showed it to me. Looked right... Then he said something about the price being wrong, and went and got a different (Identical looking) one... I suppose it's possible that he gave me the wrong one.
How would I tell? I looked on AZone's website last night, but they seem to have the same item listed for both the regular V6 and the HO V6 (which I assume is the SVT "High Output".)

the TB on the SVT and non SVT turn in different directions.
thus the TPS turns in the wrong direction.
so if you put the wrong one on, it will break and be no good.

Ah. Good to know.
Any idea how to tell which sensor I have? Actually I think I still have the stock one I took off and replaced.
I'll run grab it. Do the internals only turn one direction?

yes, i cant rememebr which way it turns, but i know that one of the TB gets pulled from the top and the other gets pulled from teh bottom, thus turning the TPS in a different diretion.
