Need help!!!!

Well heres the deal i decided to put my intercooler and piping on this weekend ,went and test drove it and no piping blew off. The check engine light came on for p0121 throttle position sensor A circut range performance problem,and the idle is surging. So i come on here and searched it found a few good threads, checked the piping all of my clamps were tight intake was tight no vacume leaks. I started the car and unpluged the TPS and the idle changed so I dont think thats what the problem is. let me know if you have any ideas

Did you unplug the MAF without resetting the ECU? Try removing the battery terminal to see if your code goes away. Alternatly you can remove the fuse under the hood for the ECU.

Unplug and replug in the MAF sensor and reset the ECU again.
