Possibly, are you getting any CEL's?
If you press the gas and get no feel, that is a TPS issue. Ive experienced similiar issues after i did my swap, and turning the motor off, then on again would make it go away for awhile, but then it would come back after a few weeks.

Solution: I tightend the TPS down, and cleaned out the plug and the problem has never returned.

How do you tighten or adjust the TPS anyway? It seems to be held on by some locking nuts.
