if someone has the same problem after changing the tps check the signal wire on the sensor make sure is not grounded is the middle white wire on the top connector mine was a 1997 quest and i did have the trouble codes p0120 p0325 p1705 and the wire was grounding in the engine harness you can bypass the wire the connector on the front of engine(belt side) red wire save a lot of money

What does code P0122 mean?
Quoth http://www.aa1car.com/trouble-codes/page3.htm : "THROTTLE POSITION TROUBLE SENSOR (TPS) CODES These include P0120, P01210, P0122, P0123, P0124 P0222, P0223, P0224, P0225, P0226, P0227, P0228 & P0229, and can be set if the TPS sensor readings are too high or too low (out of range), if the signal is lost, or if the signal does not correspond to the MAP sensor's readings. The TPS sensor monitors the position of the throttle so the computer can add more fuel when the engine is accelerating or under load. The computer may also need to know when the throttle is at idle or wide open to control other functions. A bad TPS can cause driveability problems such as hesitation. The sensor's resistance changes as the throttle moves, causing the return voltage signal to vary. Look for a change in the voltage output as the throttle opens and closes. No change or skips in the output would indicate a faulty TPS sensor. Also note: the idle voltage is adjustable on some TPS sensors and must be set within specifications for accurate operation. If the voltage adjustment is not within specifications, it can adversely affect performance and throttle response."
The trouble code P0128?
Actually, there are two coolant temperature sensors. One is for the gauge and the other tells the ECM [computer] what the coolant temperature is. If your gauge is reading normal, that sensor is probably OK. It is likely the other sensor is giving false info to the ECM which is turning on the light and showing a code P0128. If it is sending a reading that is too low, the ECM demands more fuel from the injectors [usually resulting in poor fuel mileage]. If it is sending a reading that is too high [overheating] the ECM says to lean out the fuel mixture. The vehicle would then be very difficult to start and drive when cold until completely warmed up. False readings somewhere in the middle will give combinations of both symptoms.Good answer, interesting point. I'd just add that the basic meaning for a P0128 code is:Coolant Thermostat Problem. Usually not getting hot enough in the time given, that is standard.
How do you clear check engine codes on a 1996 subaru legacy outback?
1. Take it to the dealer or repair shop. Cost? Depends on dealer/shop. 2. Take it to an auto parts store, such as AutoZone and ask to use their OBDII scanner, or have them do it. There is NO obligation, so you don't have to buy the parts to fix the issue if you're not ready. Cost? Free 3. Under the dash, usually on the driver's side, are green and black connectors. Connect the GREEN AND BLACK connectors, turn the engine ON and drive the car over 12 mph for a few minutes. The CEL should blink slowly @ the same rate once the CEL is reset. Cost? Free and you did it yourself! P.S. To retrieve the codes, connect the Black connectors to read the codes. And turn the ignition to ON (without starting the engine). This will set the car into test modus (historic codes is displayed) in the dashboard. Just watch the blinking CEL (check engine lamp). Every flash is +10 in value (light last 1.2 second). Three flashes, is the value 30. Seperated with 3 seconds delay, before it shift over to the singular system (+1 value). Every flash is +1 in value (light last 0.2 second). Three flashes, is the value 3.

What is trouble code p1120 - p0120 and the Throttle Position Sensor - TPS - Windstar?
The trouble code #P1120 means:Throttle motor position sensor 1-Circuit malfunction Major auto parts chain told me my TSP (Throttle position sensor) was bad due to the Check Engine Llight (CEL) being lit up - a P1120 DTC.$40 and 10 minutes to replace - ((_#*&$ light came right back. A few days ago, after doing some more reading & investigating of my own, I bought a $4 can of throttle body spray cleaner - used 1/2 the can on my 98 Sable - voila! CEL is gone again! Since this sensor is located at the top of the engine, it is very likely you will be able to replace it yourself.Ask at auto parts store to see a diagram of the part's location. The throttle position sensor, TPS, is mounted on the front of the throttle body with 2 screws, and has a 3 wire connector going into it.The throttle body is the metal unit the air filter housing connects to on the left-side, and also has the gas pedal cables going into it.Simply disconnect the wire harness, remove the 2 screws (tighten a bit before unscrewing to break them loose) - reverse steps to install.Note that Autozone.com has detailed testing procedures that appear easy enough to confirm if the TPS requires replacement. See "Related Links" below. It is attached with 2 screws to the front of the throttle-body - top side of the engine. Rather small with a 2 wire connector going to it.Easiest part to access where the air duct attaches to the throttle body. I believe the voltage is supposed to be 0.5 closed and 5.0 open once that is obtained use a OBD scan tool to clear the code or disconnect the battery long enough to reset it however if you disconnect the battery it will take 40 to 100 miles of travel on the road to pick up all the sensors again and this can sometimes be a head ache TPS IS THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
