weird CEL problem

i finally got my 02 sensor changed, and i did as the haynes manual says to do about the ecu. i.e. i erased the codes. but now, whenever i touch the throttle, the CEL comes on. take my foot off, and it goes off. whats the deal?

the only sensor I can think of that is closely related to the throttle is the TPS.
I'd check that first, maybe it's out of adjustment
