throttle position sensor

I checked the codes on my truck the other day and came up with code 23 "Throttle sensor out of range or throttle set too high." First of all, does this mean my TPS is bad? Where would it be located? I have the electronic feedback carb. Second, could this be why it won't idle till it "warms up" a little? Thanks for any advise.

The tps is at the base of your carb. It's actuated by the the same rod that operates the throttle butterfly. I believe it has a four wire connector. You can remove it for cleaning with electronic parts cleaner, though it's not adjustable.
Yes, it could affect your idle.
