Ok, now the car dies when it warms up, and TPS is bad.

Hey, you are better off to be learning how to troubleshoot and repair cars while you still live at your parents and can get a ride. When I only had the '86 RX7 I was stranded if it didn't start (I once used 1.5 gallons of oil to get to work when I blew an oil cooler line).

As a general rule, throwing money at the car will not help you sort the issues out as much as carefully reading the factory service manual and following the advice given in it. These forums can be very helpful too.

I think that it would help us troubleshoot then problem if you can try driving it or at least try to see if you can keep it running while giving it gas. The problem may only be at idle.

From what you have described so far, it sounds like a vacuum leak coupled with some poorly adjusted sensors.
