I had actually just run into the same problem with the TPS... I got one of the newer sensors (with the metal exterior as opposed to plastic) from a local pick a part (fits in the pocket, so you can't beat that price). Got home and found out that the interior's of the sensor were different. After thorough inspection and a little reading, found out resistances are the same for all the TPS's, just design difference. So I went and picked up a newer TB to go with my sensor (as I couldn't find an older sensor), calibrated it and installed it on my engine, and *VOILA* TPS CEL goes away.
