Are you shutting the car off before pulling the TPS? I found that I had to unplug with the engine off, and then make sure idle was below 1k to get consistent timing readings.

I also had very similar temp issues due to a tiny leak below my intake manifold, by the time the car was getting hot the coolant was below that level so it wasn't immediately obvious.
