Hi guys new to the forum here and new to Ford. I have an 05 Expedition that fell in love with. Yesterday I drove it fine during the morning and when I was getting ready to go home it turned on but kinda odd. So I turned it off and when I tried to turn it back on I got nothing. The motor turns but it aint turning on. Hooked the comp on and gave me a whole bunch of TPS codes. So I switched the TPS and still got nothing, thought it was cuz the floater was stuck put 3 gallons of fuel anf nothing again. I put some fuel in the throttle body and nothing either. I'm running out of ideas as to what it may be anyone out there with idears I would greatly appreciate it.

A gas engine needs 3 things to run - air/fuel, compression and ignition.
Since you drove it earlier in the day I would rule out loosing all compression.
Next is fuel - do you hear the fuel pump running with the key in run position? It runs for 2-3 seconds.
Ignition - theft light flashing quickly?

Yup I got fuel, fuel pump turns on. Right now all of a sudden my throttle body started clicking. Whenever I disconnect it the motor turns, now whenever its connected the I turn the key and get nothing....im getting lost on this thing.

What are the active codes?
You may have fuel, only way to verify is to read cranking fuel pressure.
I had a Fiero that wouldn't run but the pump would run. Hmmm. No fuel at the injectors. Dropped the tank and found a rubber hose had let go. Pump worked fine except for that.
You probably do have fuel but if you could verify then you can eliminate that as a cause.

Are the 05's drive by wire?

They all are saying the TPS and forced idle. I added more fuel just in the case that the floater got stuck and wasnt reading correctly. No its not by wire its all electronic.

I even added fuel directly to the throttle body and nothing. It looks like theres no spark or theirs a ground that may have gotten disconnected. But if my throttle body is clicking like that im not 100% sure what it may be. The way it happened just doesnt make sense.
