Default Engine malfunction reduced power

Hi all, I have a 2006 530xi that I replaced the pcv/ccv hoses on, upon putting everything back together, I now am getting check engine light with message stating engine malfunction reduced power. Any ideas on what I could have missed or messed up, I am going to tear it back down again to see if I can fine anything wrong, however , not sure where to be focusing. I did get the codes, they are related to throttle positioning sensor low input, another one with high input. codes P0123 , P0222, P1417 , any help appreciated. thanks

That reminds me of the time I didn't seat a plug in all the way. I swear, it was only like a half millimeter unseated but that was enough to cause a problem.

Thanks for reply, I did plug up the throttle body wire, however it was not snapped all the way, pushed it in until it clicked and all is well.

Thanks again
