I cleaned out the EGR valve, and for that I removed the radiator fan (disconnected all the relays), removed throttle body and starter too. Upon assembly this morning, in my rush to put it back together I neglected to connect the throttle position sensor. Connected everything else, connected the battery and tried to start the car. It coughed once and after the starter cranks and cranks but it does not even try to start. Checked the codes on A2, it gave me 4-1-1, something about TPS exceeding voltage. I cleared the code. I have gone over everything, checked all the connections but the car does not start. Any suggestions (besides not rushing when putting things back together)?
