I just had my spark plugs and wires replaced yesterday. Today my check engine light goes on and when I had it checked the guy said that my throttle position sensor was going out. Could this have something to do with the work done yesterday? Maybe they left a wire loose or something? The other question is that if it does not have to do with that can I replace this myself or is it something I would have to take it in for like the spark plugs?

The only way that you can do the plugs and wires is by removing the intake plenum, which houses the throttle body and TP sensor. Locate your TP sensor by the throttle body. I bet you the sensor is disconnected.
