Be careful. An early 2000 scenario. Kinda the same deal only in this instance the vehicle would stall on occasion. The problem in this situation was a shared 5v feed going to the A/C high pressure switch. On occasion the switch would short to ground interally pulling the high side low and everything on the shared cct would be pulled low with it including the tps and map among other things. The only code that would set would be an intermittent map sensor code that had little to do with the actual problem. Look at the whole picture especially with shared feeds that react to the input. Does it do it when the cruise is not being used? If not start there and look at shared ccts.
