They reset the computer, did something with the TPS, and installed a new Throttle body

I would guess that they adjusted the TPS if they didnt have to replace it altogether. I would guess this was the problem in the first place. To adjust the TPS you loosen two screws and move it left to right with a meter hooked onto the two wires. Have your meter on to check resistance and just off the top of my head you should have .99 -1.00 ohms on your wires if your adjustment is correct.

Yes, they adjusted it. I'm an electrician and as far as adjusting it, I know exactly what you mean.
And there's a shiny new throttle body in there..
I think it runs a bit better, because of the computer reset. After I got my catbacks, I never unhooked the battery..
