Now that makes sense to me too.. The TPS is the same as a "detent device" It tells the tranny how much pedal the engine has.. Hell yes man getcha another TPS and go for it..
Of course there is still the water problem. Have you took the connections apart and dried them out real good? Or have you just LOOKED at them and judged the Ok?

Throttle detent device = TPS...yeah I like that.
