Default Ok So i broke the GS, I Think

Hey guys, i did something dumb yesterday to the ride. When i got in it the car wouldn't start , it had plenty of juice but the starter would make a tick tick tick and nothing. Somehow after a few tries the car started, but before it did i put my ear to the TPS and there was a whirring noise near it sounded like a little buzz. So i shut the car off and it wouldn't start again, but i noticed that if i turned the key farther to the right about a quarter more turn that it would start. So smart me as i am i unplugged the electrical plug off the TPS while the car was running and the rpm went up and the VSC lights went off and now they wont go away. Would disconnecting the battery do anything? I drove it around for a while and started it and turned it off but still the same thing.

Sorry if this is a repost thread as i did search and a bunch of them came up with the VSC lights being on but mine doesn't go into limp mode the car drives perfect.

I have a high frequency buzz coming from the TB area when I turn the key to start position. It has always done that and the car is fine.

Try disconnecting the battery for everything to reset itself, plug the TPS back in and see what it does.
