Default 1991 accord engine performance

I have a 1991 honda accord. It starts and idles fine. When I slowly raise the rpm's, the motor does fine. When I ask for a drastic change in rpm's (from idle to half way open) the motor dies.

any suggestions?

I have performed many tests recomended by the haynes book but still have not found the fix.

Throw the Haynes manual in the trash and get a Helms manual.

I would check your cam and ignition timing and go from there...

it straight up dies. I have tried to check the tps but I can not get my ohm meter probes onto the terminals that are inside the tps. do I have to take it off of the tb? and what do I have to do, to do that?
