Sounds more like it possibly could be in the transmission...how many miles are on it?

I would say TPS....IF you got a code reader it will tell you if that is the problem.

Glad you found the problem. Did you try measuring the old one to see if the output was funky? It may measure good at closed throttle but many times the output is non-linear or the maximum output is significantly below maximum (~4.5VDC). Either of the latter conditions will never trigger an error code.

Thanks for replying back with the fix!

No didn't measure it.. Noticed that the tabs inside of it were broken when I took it off so it had no way of knowing I was on the gas
