When you say 'replaced the position sensor' are you referring to the sensor on the throttle body controller, or the sensor cluster on the pedal?
Did you re calibrate the pedal? Has the vehicle had a dead battery and been jump started?
Does a scan tool return any codes for the throttle body, or the accelerator pedal position sensors?

Ok, let me ask this way, did you replace the pedal and sensors inside the cab at the floor board?
Or just the sensor under the hood?

On the top of your pedal are 3 potentiometers. They ALL have to agree on where you have the pedal pressed too.
If one of them is going out, your throttle control light will come on. If 2 of them fail, you are only going to set at an idle with a disabled engine. When you read the codes, read a live data stream and look for "ACC POS A" "ACC POS B", "ACC POS C".
All of them should be close to each other. My Bosch scanner shows "THRTL POS A" and then "ACC B" "ACC C" so you may get different interpretation on the codes depending on the scanner, but all 3 reading should be close to each other. Once of them probably will show zero all the time or crazy numbers for no reason.
