Default 92 civic bad throttle response

Hey guys so I'm having a problem with my 92 civic. When I'm in neutral and step on the gas I car doesn't rev up quick let it takes it a few seconds and comes up slowly. Also when I drive if I don't have my rpms up at about 2500-3000 my car will take off slow. The tps is relatively new. The only thing I've tried so far was to rev the car up from the engine bay and the same thing happens, car revs up slowly. If you guys have had any experience like these or have any suggestions please let me know

what brand is tps?
ebay brand x and blox (and likely others) are junk.
i'm running a dorman atm which is doing well.
all of them drift out of spec easily if not torqued down enough.
get bolts and get them tight.

Have you checked the distributor and mechanical timing ??? A severely retarded timing issue will make the engine very sluggish.
