Having a stored code for a TPS problem does not automatically mean you need a new TPS. It merely means that the computer has seen a specific voltage reading that was not expected. The problem can be the sensor itself, any of the associated wiring, the PCM or the base idle adjustment. It really needs to be checked out more thoroughly to determine what the issue is.
