Default Problem with 1999 Honda Civic Ex

First the tps sensor was acting up every time i let the car idle to long the check engine light would come on the air conditioning would stop getting cold and when i pressed on the gas the car would be making a weird bog sound the computer would read tps sensor i would erase the code and the car would drive fine again i finally replaced the throttle position sensor and the car drove fine for awhile and it could idle long with no problem lately the car just starts to bog out for no reason i would start up and drive around for a long time with no problem and out of the blue when the car reaches 3 to 4 rpm it starts bogin like crazy makes it look like some one who cant drive is inside it just bogs and goes bogs and goes and i either have to apply full gas and speed so it doesn't bog anymore or just pull over what could this be.

My Setup

D16 Y8

10.3 spark plug wires
irridium plugs
4-2-1 headers
2.25" exhaust piping
short ram intake
performance bearings was put in the engine when i caught a knock a few months back.

All help is greatly appreciated

Is the CEL again ON?

Did you calibrate the newly installed TPS to 0.5 V @ fully closed throttle and to 4.5V @ wide open throttle?

You must calibrate the new TPS sensor as mentioned above.

What specific CEL code is thrown?

Make sure of that measurement. Try another meter.

The two outside wires on the TPS should be zero and 5 volts measured to ground. The 5 volts is supplied from the ECU. More than 5 volts would be a faulty ECU or a short in the wiring. Note that if the input on the outer wire is more than 5 volts, the center wire will go abnormally high with the throttle open. This is not a defect in the sensor.
