Have you checked for codes yet? They are essentially a must for diagnosing this type of issue. Will it die in neutral when you revv it up, or does it only die when in gear?
I am guessing VP44 or possibly (but unlikely) injector issues. Could be a simple ground problem as well I suppose....

TPS wouldn't cause it to die, but the cam position sensor could. It is possible (although not very likely) that it could be either a ground issue or even a bad relay. It would be great if you could hook it up to a code scanner to see if anything pops up...

I would suspect the VP44 is failing internally then, but it still could be a bad ground issue, or any other wiring issue really. As a first step I would recommend thoroughly cleaning the grounds under the hood and connections in the fueling harness. Couldn't hurt to swap out the fuel relay with the horn relay just to be safe as well. At least that part won't cost you anything but some time...
I really doubt it would be the APPS, as it should set a code if not functioning properly. They always do as far as I know...
