What do you mean by running rough?
Is it the idling speed is too low?
Is the Check Engine Light showing?

Is the Check Engine Light showing and have you tried to check for trouble codes?

Symptoms indicates a possible fault with the TPS and after resetting, it might take some time for it to come back, depending on condition. It is best to monitor if the TPS is working correctly with the aid of scan tools.
