X16XE Engine problems, self accelaration ?

Hello everyone,
So I have this Vauxhall Corsa B year 2000, it originally was a 1.0l 12v but later converted to 1.6l 16v by previous owner.
The problem I start having is the car is revving by itself, I tried to unplug the throttle position sensor (which was changed around 1month ago) and it seemed to stop the revving but when driving without the sensor there is absolutely no power in the car and it jumps back and forward when pressing accelerator.
What could be wrong ? I've read that there are alot of other sensors in these engines that can go wrong but I am not very familiar with engines and to know what I am looking for.
Is my throttle position sensor gone again ? or MAP sensor which I don't know where is located in my car ?
EM light is on and I've tried to do the paperclip test however I noticed that the pin layout is different to what it should be and looks more like 1.0 ? Sorry this might sound stupid but could I still be running with 1.0 ecu or is that not possible ?
