Description of the problem	My mini-van is idling at 2700rpms and the check engine light is lit. This happened at 4000miles and the dealer replaced the tps (throttle position sensor) the first time. The second incident occured at 10,400 miles with the car idleing at 2700 rpms. This time the dealer called the manufacturer. The dealer tech told me that a tech at the manufacturer said the possible cause of the tps is electromagnetic waves emenating from the wiring harness is causing the tps to foul sending it into the high rpm revs. The tech also said that the manufacturer would denie this if asked. The dealer tech siad to remedy the problem for now, he would wrap tape around the harness to keep the waves down to a minimum. I find this very hard to believe that tape will fix the problem, unless their going to wrap the harness in copper wiring. The only other thing the dealer has done was to clear the error codes of the on board computer to reset the tps. I believe this to be a serious issue that need attention.
