Post the "exact" code here. Devil is in the detail with OBD codes.
Remember that the code includes the entire circuit. So along with the sensor, you have wiring and connectors.
For the TPS, I generally recommend that you unplug it, thoroughly spray it with electrical contact cleaner (not WD-40), add a dab of dielectric grease to the connector and reconnect.
Also, where did you purchase your TPS? Not unusual for the 4.0 to have issues with some (not all) aftermarket throttle position sensors. Because of that, I purchase OEM MOPAR engine management sensors.
