1996 Bonneville SE, 3.8L non-supercharged. This darn thing has gone through 3 or 4 throttle position sensors in the last year or so. The newest one I put on less than two weeks ago. The AutoZone tech cleared the codes from the computer. Today the "check engine" light came back on, had it scanned, giving "TPS out of range" again.
Surely it wouldn"t have been that many bad sensors? Something else causing this code? Anything on a different circuit that interacts with this one that maybe is throwing it off?
Open to all suggestions. I"ll probably give this car to my mom and want to make sure everything is right with it before I do that.
As an aside, the AutoZone tech told me that they are not allowed to erase codes any more, he wasn"t supposed to do mine. Something about a tech cleared codes for a customer in TN or KY, ended up frying all the wiring in the vehicle. Now there"s a lawsuit and AutoZone HQ won"t let techs at any store clear codes. Anyone know more about this?

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
