TPS problem

I had a major problem with my TPS...car was trying to go when I was at a light . Needless to say, I replaced it and adjusted it properly per instructions on this site. However, under WOT I am getting an engine light after RPMs hit 3500 (or around there) and it stays on for about 3-5 seconds after I drop the WOT. I am getting and ECM code telling me I am running to high of voltage yet I am sure I am set right. Time for a new ECM? Short in the system somewhere? TIA

Try to reset the ECM. Then check what voltage range the TPS is operating in, If I remeber correct it should be 0,54-4,2 volts. correct me if I'm wrong..
