It would be difficult for that to be anything but a sensor
problem.  Measure the output voltage with it connected and
disconnected.  With the sensor disconnected it should go below a half-volt
on closed-throttle deceleration, and should go above a half-volt on WOT.

And therefore immediately suspect anyway.  Maybe got poisoned with some
antiseize compound, maybe bad from the factory, maybe flaky connection?
