Default have a check engine light

Well i installed my 78mm throttle body/plenum. And i got a check engine light. Well during installation i was having problems with my TPS on the front. So i was banging it around a little. Got it off finally. Well i got the whole thing installed finally. a couple of drives later i got the light. first thing i figures was it was the TPS. Well i had to go on business so i had my wife swap it out real fast with a new one. well she did and the light is still on. she probably hasn't drove it much. and she didnt say that she reset the battery. Also when i was driving it the throttle would dip down a little lower than usual when i would stop or drop the car into neutral. is that normal for a bigger throttle body? other than that all is running perfect. no vaccum problems or anything like that, and the throttle response is awesome, along with the extra hp
