98 2.0 Automatic WILL NOT STAY RUNNING or IDLE

[urbandecaychris]

Parked the car when it was running like a dream, next day it won't even stay running or idle. It dies if I take my foot off the gas.

I have replaced plugs, wires, coil, and distributor cap.

Its throwing 5 codes

P1580-Throttle Actuator B1 Malfunction
P1544- Throttle Actuation Potentiometer Signal too High
P0103-MAF OR VAF A CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT
P0705-TRANS RANGE SENSOR MALFUNCTION (PRNDL input)
P0121- TPS/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR A CKT Range/performance

Its been running like utter crap and think that maybe some of these codes were thrown as a result of that, not because they are the problem...

any ideas? car has been down a week and a half already and I'm stranded
