gotcha. ignition timing is based on factory perameters. most cars will read the degrees past TDC the cylinders are, and a certain amount of degrees past that the spark plug will fire. you'd have timing trouble with a C.rank A.ngle S.ensor, but the T.hrottle P.osition S.ensor is gonna cause slight sluggishness in most cars. My Summit had a faulty TPS and it just didnt accelerate properly. it'd drive okay, and just fine at WOT, but never did anything to keep the car from running.....
My money is not on the TPS being the source of all that evil you're experiencing. thats just my professional opinion... i might check resistance on the sensor along with others....but i wouldnt put my money on it.
