bad TPS?

my truck is acting funny. sometimes while under steady acceleration, she will start feeling like the throttle has been let out on. sometimes on acceleration, especially in the mid-range she looses power, and you gotta floor it for response. this just started today. and sometimes at constant speed, its just like you began accelerating more. i'm thinking TPS? what y'all think? does it even with chip on stock. replaced fuel filter too.

wut Joe said. you really need to have a scanner and see if the TPS voltage jumps up or drops off at all.
