Is the TPS wired up?


Yes.


Well,what do you think the car does with that data?


The data from the throttle position sensor is sent to the ECM, along
with the data from all the other sensors. The ECM uses that data to
control, in accordance with a look-up table in the ECM's memory, the
setting or position of a variety of actuators.
