Replaced TPS on CCC qjet and now dies in drive

The car runs great in park. Idles smoother than ever with no check engine light anymore. The second I put it in drive it idles fine, tap the gas and it just dies.


I figured it was running rich so I played with the idle screws. They're at 13 turns out now which is rediculous and its still doing it. I need to drive the car to school tomorrow and I'm stuck. Its getting dark. Pitch me any ideas please I'm not too carb savvy. I may very well be over looking something dumb.
