Default Low voltage to TPS, HELP!

What would happen if when I tapped my TPS for N20, it got shorted out. Would it ruin my ecu? Im not getting a good voltage reading from my TPS, i'm only getting .02 even when I adjust it. What would be the problem? It worked fine for a year, then i tapped my TPS wire for my zex kit, and now my tps won't get good voltage? What would I have fried to cause this? Please help? Anyone in the PA area that is a wiring genious on hondas? I need some help. Please help a brother ht member out. THanks.

did you tap the wire correctly, if not, you could be getting a shitty electrical flow, or you could have zapped your TPS

Did you try removing the spliced-in wire for the n2o to see if the problem was the splice? Also, check your connection isn't loose; A short in the wire would create the same conditions. I think your ECU is fine. Maybe the wrong wire to the TPS is spliced?

To be honest, i did a shitty job tapping it, i just used of of those t's made out of plastic. I took out the zex kit, and am still having the problem. I odered a new tps, and it is still messed up. Any idea? What would be giving it a bad voltage?

My buddy has helping me, and he on accident tapped it into my map sensor. We did a test run to see if the kit worked, without turning the car on, and after about a min I found out he tapped it into the map sensor. I took it off and put it on the tps and everything was fine. I drove it for a week or so and it was fine, i never shot any juice threw it, but. . . I need help.

Check the wire you spliced; those quick-splice things could have cut the thinly-gauged TPS wire. May be shorting itself out.

its still in tact. I checked that. I even tested it at the ecu, and it was still terrible. What would cause this to be terrible voltage?

May be that you need to adjust the TPS that you replaced. This and this may be of some help. There's lots of good info on the site; just search "TPS problem" or something to that effect.
