Default HELP Pulling Code 7

Ok, here is the deal. I took a short road trip today 2 hours one way. Well its a windchill of 25 below very damn cold. Alright ill get to the point now. When i got to or near the show my car started missing when i would try to accelerate, and jump on it while rolling. Now i figured my fuel might be gelling up so I bought some heat for the gastank. Didnt do anything, now im like humm wtf it might be my distubutor, or wires etc etc.. Then i thought to myself, naahh i just got a new distubutor, and new wires and i didnt do this to me before. Now im thinking something happend and it jard something loose under the hood or did something to screw up my ignition. Keep in mind it is a windchill is 25 below standing still, i just pulled into town after 2 hours of doing 70 mph plus..

Anyway Pulled up a code of 7 short flashes.
Do i count the last flash?
Code 6 Engine Coolant Temperature sensor (ECT) Check the ECT sensor and circuit - this would make sence being its so cold but why would it run like it is, missing.
Code 7 Throttle Position sensor (TP) Check the TP sensor and circuit (see Section 4). Still this wouldnt make much sence either.

The car idles fine and when under crusing speeds its fine.

I THINK IVE GOT IT!
MAP SENSOR, in the throttle body it must be shitting out on my CODE 7 might be expanded in the longer discription, humm in going to have to do some voltage test to the Map sensor to make sure. Anyone else have a clue what might be going on here?

did you check to make sure all the connectors were clipped on good?
and also make sure they (the connectors) were free of debris and dirt?

well after 2 hours of testing and pulling codes,, here is what i find..


for anyone who knows what wire that is,, if you have a Zex Kit or N2o you should know what it is that you are looking at...

damn was that an easy fix, and the code was correct!

that is your TPS on the back of the throttle body. the red wire goes to the D harness on the ECU. w/ that wire unhooked, it will **** w/ fuel delivery, until the ECU figures out it is not working properly, and it uses a default fuel map until the TPS is working properly.
is that good enough???
