Default misfire maybe? need help..

i changed the tps in my car last week, drove it for 3 days and it was fine, then last night when i was going home from work, i was getting on the interstate and got into it in 3rd gear and at about 45-50 mph it started bucking really bad and spitting and ****. any clues why its doing that?

my battery light is on, the car runs great otherwise, till i take it to a certain speed in each gear, then it will start bucking like its not getting gas or something, its hard to explain really, if im in neutral i can take tach it out and it wont do it.

if your car never had problems before u changed ur TPS then that is most likely the issue...

well it needed a new one because it was throwing a cell and that was the problem, so i ordered a blox one off password jdm and put it on, it ran like a top for a few days, then it just started acting up again, could it be that i didnt put it in at the right angle? because there was room for when you have the bolts in u could twist it probably a 1/4" because the bolt holes were kinda long and looked like they were made for that
