The TPS is definitely a suspect. If the comp isn't reading it right, you open the throttle, lean out the mixture and your engine dies - more air and same amount of fuel.

You can check the injectors by unplugging them one at a time. If you unplug one and there is no change in the idle, you found a bad injector. I don't think this is the problem anymore.

check and make sure that the tps and the map sensor plugs aren't switched. they have the same plugs.

how did you get the codes??? JUSt want to make sure u did it right.
each 1/2 sec blink =1 and each 1 sec held blink = 10

6: ECT Sensor (Engine Coolant Temperature)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

10: IAT Sensor (Intake Air Temperature)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

unplug the battery to reset the cel codes and start the car back up and let it run, pull codes again to see if they both come back.

yea you didnt count the blinks right, each fast blink =1 and each long blink =10

so if it blinks 1 long blink then 4 fast blinks that will = 14



also check your fuses
