Your best bet is to get the Haynes manual and work through their troubleshooting list on p. 21, section 8, one step at a time. Without hands-on, it is nearly impossible to diagnose your problem. People can make educated guesses, but the best approach is for you to take the time to do a systematic troubleshooting procedure such as that in the Haynes manual.

Not the instant solution you are looking for I know, but be patient, take a deep breath, sleep on it overnight, and start the troubleshooting fresh another day.

How is a TPS going to cause overheating? I mean if it was bad it would be bouncing in-between closed and open loop wile driving. I mean you can unplug it and run just fine.

if it was leaking fuel it could be the cause but u should replace it if its cracked with a new one anyways you dont want to be spilling fuel on a hot engine , its a good way to get your wiring harness and other **** burnt up. although i doubt it was leaking any fuel unless u can smell the aroma of gas around where the hose is

The o'rings were a mistake on my part. Only the turbo gets the o'ring and the first generation engines. Two. I thought I'd corrected myself several days ago. Must have hit the wrong key after posting.
