Fault code PO123

Okay, I've tried all that I know. Even searched on here before I posted this thread. Here is the issue...
  1. Check Engine light comes on
  2. OBDII reader says PO123
  3. PO123 = TPS
  4. Replaced TPS
  5. Reset/erased code
  6. after about 15 min, check engine light re-appears
  7. Check, same code PO123
  8. erased and same result
  9. Check wiring, cleaned connectors all good
  10. Cleaned AFS
  11. Result... same
  12. Go to Ford Truck Forums and seek help!
Any ideas? I'm open to suggestions!

Okay? Not sure what those are...

It's a 98 5.4L w/auto 4.4 E.B. package.

Thanks

Is there a diagram somewhere showing the location. I am hearing a slight exhaust leak, could that be coming from there? If so, it may be broken/leaking causing the whole thing.
