Runs great w/o TPS, whats going on?!

So today I finally getting my car started. When I was driving it it jerked like no other when i would get past 3rpm. So my buddy decided to say F@#$ it and un hooked the TPS and it ran smoother. What do you think the problem is? Bad TPS? or Just Not set up right?
