I have a 2010 V6. I recently replaced my TPS, and ever since then, my engine runs hot. What's stumping me is that, from a cold start, it will run at operating temp for a couple miles, and then the temp will increase according to rpm and never go back to operating temp. I replaced the radiator fan, I don't seem to have a blockage (can drain coolant out no problem), and there is no leaking anywhere I can find. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure it's really hot, and not a sensor problem. My car shows hot, but it;s not

It's definitely hotter than OT because at one point I could feel it on my legs like the heat was on, but the heat wasn't on

Well, it's not unusual to have something happen at the same time as you fix something. I don't know. I would start to go thru all the usual overheating diagnostics. I'm not sure the TPS is connected.

Did your idle speed change after the TPS

I calibrated the TPS, it idles and throttles fine except on startup, where it can't seem to find the idle point for a few seconds. It will always lock in eventually though.
