Throttle pedal position sensor "A" circuit low input
Sounds like the Throttle Plate is sticking
You were fooled into changing the TPS because of the code
Not the way you diagnose vehicle issues
You find out why a sensor--- good or bad set the code
Get some CRC Throttle Body Cleaner & follow the instructions
Don't need much sprayed around the throttle plate
Then have someone step on gas pedal to confirm success
May need the key on
Your low input is the throttle not returning to home position
Almost like the sensor was telling you what was wrong
Fun stuff isn't it & not easy to understand

What is a step plug on a camshaft sensor synchronizer
Non-Step Style - If you look inside the connector on the Camshaft Position Sensor; you are looking at the socket (female) side of a quick connect plug. For the non-step style plug socket, the hole is the same size in the front of the plug socket as it is at the back (bottomed out in the socket hole) end of the plug socket. This means the tip of the plug (male end of the quick connect) from the vehicle will be the same size as the back end of the quick connect plug, (no step down in size.)
Step Style - If you look inside the connector on the Camshaft Position Sensor; you are looking at the socket (female) side of a quick connect plug. For the step style plug socket, the hole is large at the front of the socket, then about .25 (1/4) inches into the socket, the size of the socket steps down about .0625 (1/16) inches. This means that .25 (1/4) inches into the socket, the socket hole steps down and is smaller than the socket hole at the front of the socket. The smaller socket dimension remains this size the rest of the way back (bottomed out in the socket hole) of the plug socket. Looking at the vehicle side of the quick connect plug, the tip of the plug (steps down in size.)
