so i was at a friends house, and i decided to pull up my codes on the OBD scanner, i got a misfire, i dont no what cyl but i was pretty much wondering, how do i fix that, i searched and couldnt find anything, oh and one more thing, my throttle position sensor is going bad, how do i fix that

How do you fix a misfire, well you need to find out what is causing the misfire.

Could be, spark plugs, spark plugs wires, coil, injector, injector wiring, PCM ( injector driver fault internally) valve springs ( that usually doesnt set a code though). I'd start with the plugs and wires though, most common thing.

You TPS "is going bad" every part on your car is "going bad" they all are wearing out, does your TPS have a dead spot, has this been confirmed with a scan tool?

you are really not giving us a whole lot to work with here. the codes would be very beneficial.
