Some people have had issues restarting an engine when it sat for 10-20 minutes. ECT was telling the computer to richen the mixture too much and prevented the truck from starting. But definitely do some diagnostics to determine that's the problem. But certain does sound like the problem you're experiencing, but it could be something in the circuit as opposed to the sensor itself.

Also, the screw on the TPS is not an adjustment for the idle, it's to set the base voltage for the TPS sensor. The computer controls the idle speed.
Are you talking about the screw that adjusts the stop position for the throttle cable on the cable side of the throttle body? If it is flooded from bad ECT would it not start if I used starter fluid, it would not be flooded more?
