Welcome to AF. Don't take me wrong here but maybe you need professional help with this rather than tossing parts at it. Test the fuel pressure and see what you have post back. Also make sure both injectors in the TB are working.

I had a difficult problem with my old '83 eldo your present situation reminds me of. It was the computer itself. It would not allow the fuel injectors to work properly above idle. I agree also with the other response you have received about a TB (fuel control) issue of some sort. Unforunately I do not know how you test the computer itself for a fault. When my computer failed it did not show any trouble codes. It took me months to figure this out looking down wrong roads(plugged exhaust, etc;) By the time it was figured out I also had to replace the catalytic converter as the fuel problem plugged that up too.
good luck
