#6 - ECT - this is the two wire sensor on the end of the head, below the dist? If that is the one you replaced, do you have a volt meter to do some testing?

#7 - TPS - Did you calibrate the new one when you installed it? I think, double check me, that at idle you get .5 v and WOT you should have ~4.5 v

For the ECT, did you replace the sensor that is under the distributor. I would have two wires going to it.

If the sensors are installed correctly, then you may have a bad ECU. Try clearing the ECU by pulling the 7.5 amp backup/radio fuse in the engine bay fuse box for a minute. See how long the code(s) take to return.
