If it returns a voltage that is outside of the range expected by the computer, the check-engine light will come on, and the computer will stop using the TPS to calculate throttle position. Instead, the computer should guess what the throttle position is based on the RPM and other factors. This is called "limp" mode, usually. In this state, the car runs rough, but will run. You should notice a loss of power, and perhaps hesitation, etc.
If, instead, the TPS returns a voltage that is within the expected range, but is off from where it should be, the car will think the throttle is at a position that it is not. This could lead it to miscalculate airflow, and screw with the air-fuel mixture. This may cause the car to conk out, depending on the how off the reading is.
There is usually a procedure for checking the TPS in your shop manual. You can check the voltage range it puts out, and determine if it's faulty or not. On a 2000 Sonata, it should not be adjustable, like it is on older cars. If it's bad, it needs to simply be replaced. The part is easy to replace (two screws, typically), and can be bought at a car part store.
May have same problemI have a 2002 Sonata. I can't answer your question, unfortunately, but I am wondering if the problem I'm currently having is due to the throttle position sensor. My car ran fine until the crankshaft positioning sensor went out. Once that was replaced, the car would start, but not idle properly even with the accelerator floored. Sounded like it wasn't getting enough fuel....or.......?I have the exact same problem with an 02 accent. car wouldn't start, replaced the crankshaft position sensor, it starts but now the idle is just way off or something, and gets way worse when put into drive, from what I've found so far it sounds like these are symptoms for the throttle position sensor. This and from what I've read a delay in the acceleration when pressing the gas pedal and delays in decelleration when releasing the gas pedal.

It is behind the crank shaft pulley in front of the motor!
Where is the crank sensor located on 05 Hyundai Sonata 6-cylinder?
Location is behind the starter,droping the starter makes the job easy.unplug the sensor then pry it out,best with pliers o ring then reinstall.
Will a bad crank sensor on a 2004 Hyundai Sonata make the car stall or idle low?
From my experience, If your crank sensors bad the car will not start up at all.

its on the front off the engine you must remove timing belt to replace it
What might cause a 2000 Hyundai Sonata to cut off while driving?
If it simply dies without hesitating, I'd guess your crank sensor.

How do you check a crank sensor and cam sensor on 2001 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L and where can you get resistance values for these sensors?
The sensors can be checked with an oscilliscope, graphing multimeter or for frequency(not anywhere near as good). Resistance values are meaningless with the type of sensor used.
Where is the crankshaft position sensor on a 2002 Hyundai xg350?
It is located underneath timing belt cover, behind crank pulley.
Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on a 1996 Hyundai accent?
Crank Angle Sensor (location)i own a 98 Hyundai accent and the crankshaft position sensor is located just underneath the far right spark plug if your looking from the front of the car,about 5"-8". hope this helps.
