    I'll try disconnecting the battery and letting it warm up again. When
I was installing the TB, the battery was disconnected the whole time though.

    Yep, I'm still using the stock injectors.

    The MAP I'm not 100% sure of. I have a tube running from the TB to the
MAP sensor, which isn't quite the right size. (I'm going to have to extend
the wires of my MAP sensor, but I didn't feel like hacking up my wiring
harness just yet... I'll get the proper sized tube or bite the bullet and
actually completely install the MAP sensor to ensure that connection is good.

 The TPS is reading about 25% at idle, just under 80% at WOT.
