For debug only:

try plugging off the brass PCV intake tube that comes out under the base of the TB (not sure what it looks like on a 3.0 upper). You won't suck in any PCV at all and since you have breathers on the valve covers expanding gasses will just vent to atmosphere.

Or to check the TPS - doesn't the car run almost normally at idle in limp mode with it unplugged? If it's just the TPS saying like 40% when it's really closed unplugging it should fix that.
