That metallic "tincrrnch" sound is probably detonation. Did you touch anything else on the car besides the TPS??? Possibly the spark plug wires?

The TPS being out of wack will not cause detonation. You changed the plugs...you put the trailing plug wires on backwards. Switch them and you'll be fine.
