I ended up downloading torque pro so I've got the ELM 327 working now.
I cleared the code for the IAT and TPS then disconnected the battery for a few minutes for the new TPS switch.
I then read the codes - none.

And it drives exactly the same.

If anyone's still listening or cares, I found the problem.

The vacuum line that goes from one side of the bulkhead to the other had about 6 inches missing from it.
I replaced that and repaired a thin vac line going to some vac pot at the front of the engine and now it runs fine.

I would have thought that that much of a vacuum leak would throw a code.

Somehow I ended up with the kind of transfer case that doesn't have the VSS on it so I've still got some work to do.

Congrats on finding the vacuum leaks. Hopefully that takes care of your Explorer for awhile.
