Yep thats it. Disconnect the negative battery cable first and remove that plug and check it. I've seen the contacts get corroded and do strange things.

unhook it and try it, you won't hurt it. It will tell you if it is the problem though. If it shorts, it kills the 5-volt feed for all the sensors, which is why nothing works. If you check the plug for the tps, and you have 5 volts, your golden. Then remove the map sensor plug, and plug in the tps, and measure that plug for 5v, if it's below 5v,then it is shorted.

Tps 5v supply wire is on the left side of the plug looking into it with the locking clip on top. there should be tiny numbers inside, your looking for #1
