If it was the solenoid it would have left a fault code.

Maybe check the VSS....also do a codes check again....disconnect, inspect and reconnect all cables to the transmission...when you put the new TPS in, did you check the drive adaptor was there - sometimes they get left out and the TPS will not work. (presuming the TPS is the same as VS)...will it manually start in 1 then manually shift up the gears OK?

there is no kickdown cable because its electronic spoke to a transmission place they said its ether a bad solenoid or a faulty valve
