99 jetta 2.0 won't stay running

I have a 99 jetta 2.0 AEG. Car was doing great. Went on vacation,
returned to find dead battery. Thought must have left a light on, etc.
Charged the battery and tried to start. Car will start initially, but
in seconds runs very rough, misfires, and then dies. Got code 1543:
Throttle Actuation Potentiometer signal too low. Anyone have a similar
problem or know how to test the potentiometer? Thanks.

Mike

Probably need to do this...................
