I think I read somewhere that you can drive quite a ways with it disconnected with no harm, but just checking before I try it.
In the case of the TPS you can disconnect it with no harm, guaranteed. One guy in Poland found that was the only way he could get his 2nd generation to run correctly. And the ECU he had, didn't care about the code (Poland doesn't have the same requirements as the US), so he is running that way to this day. I believe what the ECU does, is, knowing the TPS is disconneted, it is bypassed. If in, it will use the info.
