Autozone cant pull your codes you can buy a OBD1 code reader for 30 bucks at oreilly if its the TPS it will be a code 122 which is TPS low voltage you said that you replaced the TPS when you pulled it off did you mark where the old one was Some truck years will require that you scribe a mark across the sensor and the TB to ensure that the new sensor is installed in the same exact location.
Correct Voltage
Turn the ignition to ON (engine not running) and install the probes of the volt-meter into the ground wire (black) and the signal wire (green) on the backside of the electrical connector. This process is called BACKPROBING. Turn your key to the on position (the engine need not be running to perform this test). Your meter should read 0.50-1.0 volts at idle. Rotate the throttle to the full-open position and the sensor should increase voltage to 4.0-5.0 volts
