Default when its WOT the motor shuts down?? HELP!!!

i searched last night for some info, found similar topics, but alot of them didnt have the solution once it was fixed..
at 1/2 or 3/4 throttle, the motor is fine. drives fine, hits vtec, no problems

motor is a 95 gsr-completely stock

once its at WOT, no matter what RPM it shuts down- doesnt shut off, doesnt gain/lose power, totally shuts down and does nothing..

i changed my head gasket and put a new throttle body on, and since then its been doing this..

***********IM NOT THROWING ANY CEL'S**********

this is what ive done so far to try and correct it:
changed spark plugs
changed spark plug wires
changed dizzy rotor
checked timing 4 different times
ive checked my vacuum lines, dont see anything wrong or not hooked up

please help.. anything you can think of

pop off the tps, and make sure the lug on the tps is engaged.
then go back with a meter and make sure the closed and wo.ot. spec voltages are right. id give em to you but i am not 100% sure on the specs. i want to say somewhere around half a volt closed and 4.8ish to 5 w.o.t.

it was the TPS sensor.. i just never figured it could be since it didnt throw a code.. the green and yellow wires were switched around-switched them back and now everything is fine.. thanks for all the help guys!!
