    A code P0121 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

    TPS has intermittent open or short internally
    Harness is rubbing and causing an open or short in the wiring
    Bad connection at the TPS
    Bad PCM (less likely)
    Water or corrosion in connector or sensor

    OBD-II Trouble Code: P0121 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem



    You said you already replaced the Throttle Position Sensor, so skip the things related to that. Check your wiring, Start at the grounds, then look through the wiring harness and make sure no wires have rubbed through. It shouldn't be your pcm, so I would skip even checking that for now.
