Well basically when they go bad they either have dead zone in the switch, or they go off the chart on resistance... So the ECU will go from see normal throttle, then zero throttle, then infinate throttle, etc...
Bad tps could do alot of things including very bad stumbles/hesitations rolling into the throttle... stuff like that...

over time the stumbling/rough running will damage the cats, and also since the ecu doesnt have that input all of the outputs that depend on it wont be right.
