Exclamation Replaced Timing, Water pump. Now Codes

So I broke my Timing belt doing about 80mph. After much research I found out that the 2.4L DOHC is a NON-INTERFERENCE motor and I should just be able to replace belt. I purchased a belt, Water pump, Tensioner, and pulley from RockAuto for about $80 cheaper than the parts store locally. Replacing was a PITA! But Im no mechanic. And I would encourage that anyone could do it. Saved tons of $$$$$

I got everything all bath together with many hours and a few cases of beer. Now My MAP sensor broke off last night. The engine still however seemed to idle fine and run alright. It would not however go past 3K rpm. I did the ignition test and found codes P0122, P0107, P0108 and once it showed P1684.

Now I know these codes are the MAP and TPS. Today when I started the car it wouldn't idle at all or run very well. Like it had a bad miss to it. I replaced the plugs before I drove it last night and everything ran smooth for the most part. Besides the MAP being broken that is. I put the old pugs back in and same thing.

So does the MAP and TPS work together? What would cause it to run fine last night but horrible today?

I will also post some tips I found along the way for replacing the Timing belt n such later on when I get it all up and going.
