Car not starting guys ....
Did some reading, and from the codes you provided P1120-P1126, they all point towards 4 possible things:
1. Accelerator Position Sensor
2. ECM
3. Throttle Control Motor
4. Bad Harness
I'm at work right now, so whenever you chime in, let me know what you want to check and I'll give you the info so you can start testing
Picture so everyone knows what I'm talking about:
1. Accelerator Position Sensor
2. ECM
3. Throttle Control Motor
4. Bad Harness

damn No multimeter to check .. friend will bring one over tomorrow .. we have taken all the coil packs out and the spark plugs and the spark plugs all smell like gas ... I am sure from not starting up and us trying to test the car earlier ..
Sure its not fuel related .. and getting to the tps I need to remove all the hardware in front of it ... remove the cover and lines .. ? its at a crazy angle and insane to get to ... lemme know bro ... Thanks alot
Don't have to remove any lines as far as I remember, just the cover if I'm not mistaken. If you can't really see the pins, use an inspection mirror.
From this pic I have, it seems like just the engine cover is in the way:
And here it is without the cover and some other things for my timing belt change:
I think you can do with just removing the engine cover....

"I just purchased new plugs NGK Iridiums, they were needed , and that was a freaking 75ish dollars ... aswell ...
tonight I just removed the Alt. cant hurt to find out if it is working or now ... it is past 9 pm so damn missed auto zone tonight
also checking resistance of the tps updated will follow .. "
Current !
Well the MAF is reading dead and the tps is reading good ... I am lost , taking back maf and exchanging it out , getting my alternator test for what the hell ...
and the new plugs will be installed too , Since the Timing belt is off and I seem tiny cracks .. from just sitting .. I am buying a new one tonight too... Just complete updates that I havent done,
In regards to this aswell ... Did this happen to me at perfect timing ? yes (worsttime)
I am in the middle of fitting these crazy wheels and on the Cover of the Wek-fest Feb 8th Car event in SF ... omg ... Thanks for reading my updates guys

Hmmmmm
Ok after receiving a throttle body from a member of vsc forums in Florida , I have installed it and now reading an addition code , p1128 , throttle body motor malfunction on top of the p0110 ,
I am looking to check the Ecm unit but needing to know what are the chancing i am taking by giving this to another member to see if it will work on his car ?
I also tried to reprogram key (a member on cl linked me to that thread) no luck either .....
also have heard I cannot switch ECU's because of the security issues , having to change the chip in keys and maybe the ignition

If I take a trip down there to help you out (and get away from this freaking cold), would there be an air bed for me?? LOL
1. Put your throttle body back on since there seems to be a difference from the one you received
2. P0110 goes back to the MAF sensor. How good is the OBD scanner? Can it read air intake temp?? If so, check what it reads. -40*C/F is an open circuit, 140*C/284*F means short.
Check that out and let us know... I know you changed it already, but lets start from the codes you are getting now.
BTW, I was serious about going down there, it's freaking cold in the East Coast
