I have a mazda 3 5 door with a 2.5l
The car all of a sudden pegged a 2k idle with no action when I step in the gas. I can drive the car but only to a speed of the 2k idle...there is no response when I step on the gas.

Codes:
p0123 throttle positioning sensor/switch
p0223 throttle pedal positioner switch

I had the car in a shop and they replaced the whole foot pedal assembly
I brought the car home and replaced the complete throttle body with throttle positioning sensor
Both OEM parts.

i started the car and it was at 2k.
I then shut off the car disconnected the battery waited a few minutes.
I started it and it was a perfect idle with full action on the gas pedal. I thought it was fixed.
I placed it in drive and it went right back to a 2k idle with no pedal and the codes appeared again.
guy next store tried to clear the codes but they came back on in a few seconds.
we reran the codes and the same 2 appeared...

BUT i just replaced them....what the heck is going on....dont know where to go or what to check....PLEASE HELP!!!!

 

OK something else going on....I can start and get a decent idle AT traction control light is off....engine light is still on....
BUT if I push down on the wires coming from the ECM it sputters and then sends it to the 2k idle and the traction light comes back on....
It also does this when I put it in reverse...

if I push down on the wires at the top arrow...which pushes down on the collection of wires at the lower arrow if sends it to the the 2k idle etc...

Is there something I can check where these wires from the ECM go?????

how can all those wires have connectors and shrink wrap etc...we are the only owners so that came from the manufacturers?

Please let me know if you cannot see the image.
