When I try to start my car everything dies?

My suggestion would be to clean your battery terminals, check your grounds and make sure they are not corroded as well. There should be one from the battery to the engine, and one from the battery to the chassis. Check both for corrosion or possible broken wires. I would also suggest checking your starter solenoid.

What can a bad throttle position sensor cause?

Will a speed sensor cause shifting problems?

Transmission problems One of the most common signs of a bad speed sensor is abnormal automatic transmission operation. If the VSS is faulty, the transmission may exhibit symptoms such as delayed shifts, hard shifts, and limited gear operation.

Can you bypass a throttle position sensor?

No, you need that there so your ECU knows how much fuel to give your motor. They are held on with bolts that dont have any sort of head on them, so what you do, is take a hacksaw or dremel tool and cut a slit in the top of the 2 bolts holding the sensor on, then use a flat head screw driver to take them out.
