As johnb510 said you need to troubleshoot the whole f/i system. I'm guessing that with the tps hooked up it is just causing it to run much richer and that you have a problem with either fuel pressure, or high resistance in the coolant temp sensor circuit. The tps is probably ok, just exacerbating some other problem. The tps is just a two position reed switch. It should be fairly easy to check.
PS Please don't yell.
