What caused you to replace two injectors? Any codes or driving problems? Swapping injectors shouldn't cause the engine to go sideways on itself. Almost sounds like you crimped or broke something on reinstallation. Have you checked all related wiring?

Pull some codes and post them up....

well all three of those sensors are right by each other all on the throttle body so something would lead me to thing u got a wire issue probally right on top of the manifold should check and see if u got ur 5 volt referance at each of those sensors and a ground

Make sure the TPS has its vacuum hose attached to its front port, and trace the wires coming from its harness, make sure they didn't get pinched anywhere.

Same with TPS and IAC, double check, trace the wires from their harnesses, make sure they didn't get pinched. All are easily pinched if you removed and reinstalled the injectors, as all those wires are right there, bundled along the intake manifold near the fuel rails.

OP, Jason ment to say MAP sensor. Just do what Jason and Scott have said and hopefully you'll have those 3 codes down to none. Wish you luck.
