the stock cougar TPS and the SVT TPS are two completely different animals.
I am pretty sure about this, assuming the Kitty's TPS is the same as a non-SVT contour.
they rotate in different directions.
there was a long thread about this in troubleshooting or maintenance.

Yep SVT's TPS rotate the opposite directio to all other CDW-27 TPS's. You need either a SVT TPS or one from a Mustange GT will work too.

Correct. And MAKE SURE you install it correctly, or you'll have a nice broken TPS in your hands when you're done. Brapple has a nice write-up on it in the Duratec Maintenance forum, with pictures. It'll show how you need to put the TPS on slightly turned, and then turn it clockwise to its resting position(SVT only), then bolt it down. If not done this way, it'll break the innards of the TPS.

Anyone have any ideas or links to threads that would help? I have searched as I said before, but nobody in the two threads I read really nailed it down. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Yeah, I have an idea.
I bet either you or He turned the steering wheel one too many times when the rack and pinion was undone and the contacts are probably broke in the steering wheel. Either that or it was turned off center one revolution too far when reassembled so it broke later.
There is an assembly in the steering wheel with a long ribbon cable that connects to the airbag and cruise circuits, and allows contact even though the wheel turns. If the wheel is turned too far, say three revolutions when the rack&pinion is undone, then it will pull the ribbon cable out of its contacts and then voila, no cruise and no airbag.
It is a gray, round plastic assembly that mounts over the steering shaft that you can see as soon as the wheel is pulled.
**edit** you know I was reading the list but never saw the title of your post until I hit the post button. Now I read that the cruise is gone too, and I'm positive you broke it.
Oh, and whats my prize for being right on this one?

Well, the steering wheel is cocked over to one side about 90 degrees. So, should I get the alignment done first AND THEN replace the clockspring ... that seems like the most logical approach.

90! You sure the steering shaft splines didn't pop out and it was put together misaligned? If you get an alignment and the wheel is still off I guess you know if that's the problem or not.

90 degrees is a bit of an exageration but at least 45 degrees.
