You need to rotate the TPS very slightly and gently until IDL only closes when the throttle pedal isn't being touched, and the slightest touch of the pedal opens the IDL circuit again.
Once you've got it right, nip the screws up, fully depress and release the throttle pedal a few times and then re-check.
This is how the ECU knows that you've taken your foot off the throttle and to engage idle mode. I expect it's seeing idle conditions (i.e. no air unless it opens the idle air control valve) without the IDL switch being shut, and thus throwing an error because the 2 conditions conflict with each other.
The 2 screwholes the TPS fits to the throttle with should be slotted so you can rotate it slightly. The TPS has a microswitch in it (usually referred to as IDL) which should close ONLY when the throttlebody is shut, i.e. when you don't have your foot on the throttle.
