Default check engine light and P0123 code help

driving home today the check engine light came on and when i got home the code that was thrown up was P0123. I think this is a TPS code? The TPS has been replaced 2 years ago (7000kms ago). What are the steps to clear this up?

If it's a non OEM (Mopar) sensor the 7000 km life may just be a quality issue. Any driveability issues or idle problems?

the idle was a little rough, just fluctuated a bit. nothing that noticeable. would you recommend replacing the tps?

Yep. I had the same issue a few months back. Order the tps from quadratec and grab the genuine tps.

Then give the IAC a clean

gave the tps a bit of a wiggle as it looks like it might be a bit loose. reset the engine codes and nothing is being thrown up. if the code comes back then i know for sure the sensor is faulty?
