MAP/Map tube/wires? I think your MAP is on the front of your TB. It might have a little "L" tube underneath to provide it vaccum. If that were leaking or messed up, it would run pig rich. (I'm not familiar with 2000)

Try cleaning the TB, TPS, and IAC check o2 and cats, check all vac hoses. Check fuel pressure, could bad pump and filter. year 2000? check for dreaded cracked heads.

I cleaned the tb iac checked for vacuum leaks and injector leaks I don't believe its a cracked head because it's not tough to start the fuel pressure when primed is 47 and running in like 49 when I shut it off it goes to about 5 psi after about 3 minutes

Well, any coolant loss? Oil looks fine? Any "milky" stuff anywhere, like on/inside the oil cap or on the dipstick? Was it cold when you made that video? You do know it's free to get the codes read at a parts store. Sometimes you can see the crack looking down through the oil filler. (often where the 0331 cracks. One guy posted he could squeeze the hose and see a green line appear. Also there might be deposits along a crack.

(if it's yes, no, yes, no, you likely have a crack)

Some codes take several drive cycles to come back.
Everything points to a throttle position sensor, check the voltag.

Ok went out a checked my voltage I did this while the tps was plugged in and then I unplugged and tested the tps while plugged in didnt jump around it was nice and smooth .8 volts closed and at WOT it was 3.8 or 3.9 volts now when I unplugged and check pin 1 was ground pin 2 showed 2.8 volts and pin 3 was my 5 volt. Is pin 2 supposed to be showing 2.8 unplugged? Thanks again for the replies

It was pretty pricey the mechanic who fixed it charged $2300!! That's almost what the car is worth I'm just glad it's running right again
