Hey Guys , i have a 92 Q45 with out traction control.. I resently changed injctors because she was missfireing and giving code 51(i think) open injector... Replaced the injector, and drove the car.. the check light was off but the car (that has 2nd gear start), just didnt want to shift out of 2nd untill at high rpms then it would shift to like 4th.. then the check engine lite came on.. i ran back to the shop and the code said Throttle position sensor..

I did search and hav seen some posts on tps.. but none of them came to a conclusion(as in fix it by doing etc.. or change that crap now).. im gonna check the ohms on it.. but its obvious that theres a problem cause its bringing up codes.. No transmission malfunction display(maybe cause the display works when it feels like) soo not 100% sure.. but wen manualy selecting 1 then 2 the car shifts regular.. Please help me out guys thanks

Any chance they just left it unpluged when they changed the injectors?

The only advice I can give you is that all of the resistance or voltage measurements you take for the TPS must be done when the engine is fully warmed up. If it's cold the fast idle cam on the throttle body holds the throttle open some and throws off the closed reading.
