Default PO121 fault code

a couple weeks after installing my AGP wastegate actuator, while driving on the highway sometimes the check engine light comes on and the code PO121 comes up.Throttle position sensor and MAP sensor disagree with each other. Once this happens the car idles at like 3000 rpm's and does not want to idle down when slowing down. After turing the car off and restarting it, it would be perfectly fine. If anybody has any input on what could be causing this, it would be greatly appreciated. I already relpaced the map sensor and the tps and it did nothing.

P0121 is throttle position sensor #1 performance . Could be the sensor, power, or pcm. Leave the code and get car to dealer to diagnose ..... there are 3 pages of diags and you need DRBIII to perform most of them.
