Default Sounds familiar. When you transferred the TPS from your old throttle body to the new one...

either you didn't rotate it counter-clockwise until it stopped or you didn't tighten it's bracket firmly enough and it's moved. Either will cause the 17913 code. The 2nd one may just be a result of the first one.

Good news is it wont hurt anything but definately can throw a CEL. Bad news is guess whats got to come off again to get to it? Yep.

Default yes it can and there's a very easy test for it in the Bently....

Just requires a voltmeter to check. It's also entirely possible that the original bracket was mis-adjusted as well. They can go out of adjustment just due to wear on one of the adjustable butterfly stops located in the TB base while the TPS is still good.

But the TB has to come off to confirm any/all of the above. I've encountered it a couple times as well. Thats why I stopped sending TPS's out with the TB's as some proved to be bad on the used TB's I've purchased for my core exchanges.

Default The car feels sort of sluggish and doesn't respond as quick

as I think it ought to...

is it possible that the fuel filter is really gummed up and needs to be replaced?? It's the next item on the list, maybe even this weekend. I have 90k and no documented fuel filter replacement... It may have been done before I bought the car, but not in the last 40k miles, that's for sure.
