As experiment: remove and pug the Vac hose that goes to the limphome cartridge on the Throttle body (big black thing)
That.. will stop the throttle body fighting against your throttle pedal movement. Won't fix anything but it will make it easier to drive the car.
Throttle body as well as the throttle pedal potentiometer is rarely actually faulty. Ditto for the Vac 'check' valves.
First things to get replaced though..whether they need it or not :-)
Try cleaning ALL electrical TCS/abs contacts with decent quality Electronics connector cleaner.. Before spending even a single $ on parts.
