I fixed the above issue by adjusting the TPS after following the instructions I found on the web.
Now it'll run and won't die...within 30s. The 2 new big issues I cannot seem to figure out are: Dying (sometimes) after driving and then coming to a stop. And not being able to smoothly shift.
When coming to a stop like a red light and sitting there for a bit, the engine will shudder, and stall unless I can catch it by giving it a throttle. If it does die, I just put it in neutral, start it up, and then back in drive. The other issue is its shifting. When going up a hill, my foot is on the throttle for a while and it won't shift into the next gear for a few seconds (5-10s). I could use some advice as I'm getting disheartened I cannot resolve this issue on my own.
