Mounted on the side of the throttle body - probably not adjusted correctly or faulty

Needs to be sorted by someone that knows what they're doing as TPS is used to read engine load and incorrect setting can cause det and potential engine damage.

That narrow's it down a bit then - tin of WD40 or similar and spend a bit of time removing and spraying the TPS loom connector and any others you can see under the bonnet.
