TCS , Slip, CEL On. still can't fix!

as title states. three lights are on.

they come on once in a while, and go away

So i've done my research.

Things i've changed

-knock sensor
-i've checked all coils. and they work fine.
i'm about to also do the cam sensor.
and i changed the spark plugs

what else could it be!!.

TPS=Throttle Position Sensor.

Replace that ASAP or else your tranny will go
It is located on your throttle body held on my two screws.
