If the O2 is lying, then, your mixture isn't right, and that will have an affect. If the tps is lying..... your mixture isn't right.... just for a different reason.

Try clearing the computer and see if that helps, pull the negtive battery cable and turn key to start position for about 20 seconds.
Reinstall the battery cable and see how it drives.
Something with the new throttle body may be giving wrong signal to the computer.
The computer can take a while to learn, depending on how much you drive the truck.
