How are the seals on your throttle body? If they are bad, they may be leaking oil into the TPS and causing it to fail. Do you have a liberal amount of oil in your IC pipes and throttle body?

A shorting TPS is caused by it getting too much juice. I don't have an electrical diagram so I do not know what else is on that current, but you may be causing more damage to things other than the TPS.

I would strongly suggest trying to find out why it is burning out rather than meerly removing it.
