The TPS shouldn't be an issue for you, but mine was cutting out at 2k rpm and would jump up in rpm when driving/and or cut out. Here's a photo of the valve mounted from the Vortex site.

Regarding the sensors, it's my understanding from the threads on Vortex, that the blue coolant one is typically the culprit. There is a yellow temp sender, a blue coolant sender, and one for the AC. But, If your going to replace any, I would do all 3 if cleaning the valve doesn't help. The temp sender and fan switch on the radiator should be matched to your thermostat as well. Also chase down vaccum leaks. That's the cheapest way to go before you start tossing parts on it. Do you have any engine code faults? Any shop should be able to read them if your car is OB2, which I think it would be. Hope that helps. I'll try to locate some of the threads I used when trouble shooting mine.
