4.0 spits and spudders then dies.

ok i have 4.0 out of an explorer and my question is my truck will start then spit and sputter then slowly die. now the frist start will last a min or so but the more i try the faster it dies. i just installed a new fuel pump in may. not sure where to start. here are all the codes that poped up:
P0122-low voltage on TPS
P1443- something about a purge thing?
P0136- O2
P0141-O2 bank 1
P0171-to lean bank 1
P0174-to lean bank 2
P0756- shift something?

well i guess im on my own. the problem only occurs when its at running temp. when its cold everything runs like a champ then i get into town and it starts to acting up. yesterday i replaced spark plugs and plug wires thought that would have been it but im lost. i had a GMC that would do this and it was the MAF because it got wet. now i live in az and its been raining a lot here and it super humid. im running the stock intake setup but i still could have sucked up water. could this be the problem?i start school in 2 weeks i need my truck up and running.

good catch,

everybody should know now that almost ZERO gas stations utilize inline fuel filters in their pumps
