car stalling

ya i've been snoop'n around for one. seems that they are manufactured by Cardone. I'm tired of working on the car. I'm thinking its a failed TPS again. like i've said all my previous symptoms point to the TPS. I just don't wanna believe it cause I replaced it already. I checked it with my DVOM but I couldn't get a good reading.
 
I'd imagine the TPS circuit is the same for the v6's for the pre 98 years. I had an issuse with my TPS. if you ground a multimeter then backprobe the three wires, one should be the signal (~5volts) a ground i think and the last is the signal return. With the key to the on position and the engine off, the last terminal read close to or less than a volt. As you simulate accelerating, the voltage should increase. If it doesn't, I'm feeling a TPS. If two pins read the same voltage, SHORT!
 
I just checked it and it check out ok. I don't know what my problem is now. I might just replace both of them cause they are under warranty still. funny thing, is when my TPS was bad before I got a code for the MAF (p0103) i never got a code for the TPS. the TPS was physically damaged so i replaced it and like magic the P0103 went away. now i'm back to the same problem.
