P0121: CEL Code :(

I got a CEL (2 of them) one was the famous P0420 and the other one came up as P0121. I already know about the P0420 one, but can someone tell me about the 0121 one?

Here is what it reads
DTC P0121: Throttle Position Circuit Range/Performance Probl

My mods are TurboXS DP, Random Tech-HIgh Flo Cat, TurboXS Cat-Back, K&N Typhoon Intake, Unorthodox Racing Upper and Lower I/C pipe kit, Hallman ES MBC, Pruven (Greddy Type S) D/V, Grounding kit (if that matters).

there is no "wrong way" of bolting and screwing on an EASY job of I/C pipes... there is only one way to do it. I have no issue, car is running great and STRONG.

Maybe you guys damaged the throttle position sensor when you installed your IC pipes?

I got the "check engine" light after an Upper IC pipe and throttle body install, I never saw this prior. I still need to get the code pulled from the ECU.
