What could cause multiple TPS's to go bad? (S4 n/a)

I don't know if the idle problem is your TPS or not, but the voltage should run about 0.6-0.9V from ground to the center pin (I forget what color it is and I have no stock s4 cars to look at anymore) when the throttle is closed.

EDIT: This is done with the TPS plugged in and the ignition switch in Run (with eingine running or not).

By the way, I would suspect a vacuum leak for the poor idle. If it is idling at 3,000 rpm, the BAC should be shut (trying to idle it down).

It really is a pity that you don't live a little closer.
