How did you check the TPS?

How did you eliminate vacuum leaks as a possible culprit?

up date of situation i just replace fuel pump and after about 10-15 miles the check engine light went out. funny thing is the engine ran fine and pressure for fuel was with in range on low side. but yesterday i was on highway and completely lost throttle. stalled and would not restart.this lead me to fuel pump.

so now all is well. after some time trying to track down source.
