I re-installed the throttle body and left the TPS off completely. I installed a jumper between terminal 2 and 18 (ground) at the connector in the engine bay. I checked that I had continuity between 2 and ground at the DME/ECU. The engine started, but then would die after 5 seconds. I tried removing the throttle body vacuum line, same deal. I removed the jumper, same deal. I re-installed the vacuum line, same deal. It actually idled better before I removed the throttle body and TPS.

It is possible that I missed something when I put things back together, so I will re-check again when the weather improves. The other thing I might do is re-install the TPS since it may hold the throttle plate open a crack or something, so I wonder if not having it there at all is impacting things. Wish me luck.
