WHATS HAPPING!

I got a code 21 the other day(tps voltage high) and after that happened my car has been running like crap. Its a 91 Z-28 305 TPI. If I start it in the morning its fine, but when I leave work and go to lunch it idles bad and sometimes dies. When I Start it to leave work everything seems fine for the rest of the day. Could it be my tps is bad. Any suggestions would be great.

A code 21 means your throttle position sensor is reading to high voltage. You need to recalibrate your TPS sensor if that doesn't fix it you will need to buy a new one.
