Default Bad TPS?

When i'm driving the throttle will cut out completely and sometimes kick back up again if i push down the gas pedal a bit more. Usually this occurs when i'm at low throttle and I don't know if anyone else has had this problem. It came all of sudden and I'm not sure if it's a bad TPS, or fuel pump or clogged injectors.

btw...the search feature was down when i made this

no check engine light. but the "maintenance req" light blinks when i turn on the car...i'm not sure if that means that i need to go and reset it again soon.

did you mess with the plug harness? the tps sensor and map sensor can both fit eachother....make sure you plug the correct one to eachother. That could be a reason

You check engine light does work right, it comes on for 2 seconds when you start the car ?

Almost sounds like it could also be the 02 sensor, usually the tps will throw a code if something is wrong with it.

I would say start looking else where, if the tps was bad the ecu would let you know. But you can always take a dvom meter and test the voltage to see if everything is running smoothly with the tps, there could be a short or open in the tps and it just happens so quick that the ecu does not catch it.
