The thing that I find odd is when I turn it off to let it cool down, when I start it up I get the CEL. The code says the TPS is failing.
My question is, can the TPS cause overheating going uphill? I searched the forums and could not find anything regarding the TPS and overheating.
I may try changing the thermostat but wanted to ask for advice prior..
Thank you in advance.

I suggest another look at the fan clutch.
