Default loss of power will cruising

I have a 94 VX with stock motor. When I'm just cruising down the road 40, 50, 60 whatever mph it seems like the fuel pump cuts out. When I press down on the throttle it takes a second and then power comes back. It only happens when I'm cruising I dont have problems if I hold the peddle down a little bit to slowly accelerate. Could it be the tps?

Any CEL codes? Did you calibrate the new TPS -- 0.5V closed/4.5V WOT?

When were the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor last replaced?

Have you checked the ignition timing?

Does the CEL work? If so, I'd start with a basic ignition system tune up.

my ls is doing the same thing. Im assuming its the fuel pump, pretty much because my fuel pressure drops 15psi while it does it.
