Default 02 IS 300 Limp Mode

Okay guys I'm brand new to the forum and also to IS300s. I'm completely in love with my new car but at the same time I completely hate it. I made the rookie mistake of unplugging my TPS sensor while the car was running and I guess I sent the car into some kind of limp mode. I have been unable to get the car out of limp and I'm at my witts end with this thing. I show codes P0120 and P1120. I have a brand new TPS sensor ready for installation, but if I can fix the issue by simply resetting the ecu please let me know. I tried draining the battery over night, pulling the ecu plugs and fuses, everything. Any and all info is appreciated. Also the car idles very high now and I only get about 25% throttle useage. The trans shifts a little hard (I'm assuming due to the limp mode/high idle) and I'm worried I'll break something else driving it this way. I know the issue could be the APPS as well, I just need to some guidance as to what direction I should go.
