Default Throttle Position Sensors like hot cakes

Long story short. I am going to be on my 4rd TPS. I had the original one that failed. Went with my buddies extra TB, that TPS failed. Then I got the Omni or Izzy? TPS and now that is going out and I just replaced that maybe 4-5 months ago. Is there anything that would cause the TPS's to go out this frequently?

By the way, the car is tracked a lot.

Any ideas would be great.

What reason are you replacing sensors?

I'm getting CELs for low voltage at the TPS.

More than just a sensor can cause a DTC.

I'll try to cleaning the IACV and see if that might help. My idle was rough and felt hesitation at partial throttle at times. Everything is leading to a TPS. But it's new

I am not sure how the TPS is going out. It seems really strange, even if you track the car. Are you sure you are setting the TPS correctly? Just because the CEL says low voltage, doesn't mean its bad? It just means the 0% throttle voltage is lower than it should be. What is your 0% throttle voltage reading?

That's what I was thinking, the TPS might may slipped a bit to show low voltage. I'll have to get my volt meter and check it. When I installed it, I set it to the correct specs.
