Well before I read the second line I thought TPS then I noticed you havent replaced it. Go to a boneyard and grab every sensor you can, pocket them and start plugging. It is called long term lending and a hell of a lot cheaper.

Here is a long shot but it makes sense. BAD GAS , it wouldnt throw a code for bad gas and it can definately cause running issues. Add some more gas in the tank and hold it at 15- 2000 rpms a while and see if it gets better.
