lanny, yes, I was curious what the voltage was across the battery. the 13.0 to 13.5 VDC is a little low, but still acceptable.
Because you mention the TPS clicking, you may want to check the wiring near the TPS and also for the electronics throttle. This wiring has been known to suffer damage and can lead to what you are seeing. So, give that a look over.
You may want to give the throttle body a cleaning by removing the black rubber off of the end of the throttlebody and then using some throttlebody cleaner (NOT!!!!! carb cleaner), spray out the inside of the throttle body. If you see a light brown area, then you need to try and get rid of it. For hard spots, may need to get a cotton cloth and spray some of the throttlebody cleaner on to the rag and give it a good wipe. You may find the car a little hard to start following the cleaning, but that is due to the car being "flooded". Crank it a little longer and it will start.
