Yeah, check for codes first. That will point you in the right direction.

Re: tps gone baddd??????? (1bad-eg)
when you wire up your tps you need to check to make sure that you are getting 5 volts to the tps. Then check the signal voltage. It should be 0.5 volts when full shut, 4.5 volts at wot, and it should transition smoothly while you are opening the throttle.

Uuummm.... no, I mean there should be a smooth transition in the change in voltage. The voltage should change from 0.5 volts at full shut to 4.5 volts at full open. Go get a multimeter and check it. If you don't know what a multimeter is, go to radioshack and ask the guy at the counter.
If you are throwing a code for the aic, then there must be something wrong there. If it has already been replaced twice, then its probably a problem in the line or at the connectors. Get a multimeter and check for continuity from the wiring harness to the sensor.
