If installing a throttle position sensor do you have to reset your computer. And if so what happens if you don't. Also how can you tell if you have a bad sensor. Like if you bought a new one, is there anyway you can test it?

Its a 1995 ford escort I got a computer scan done it said my throttle position sensor was gone so I replaced it then it worked and two mins later it died and now won't even start, with the old one it would start but have no power and if you stomped on the gas it would bog out, anyway I hope this helps

Did you disconnect the negative terminal on the battery to clear the code

Shouldn't time frame should be around 10 mins minimum. You may need someone to adjust the computer with the proper equipment.

Check your catalytic converter as well hit it with the side of you hand to listen for any loose peices inside
