a bad tps???

I checked my tps due to the problem I ve been having where I drive the car normal, then out of nowhere the car will crawl at wot and the engine will shake and sputter and oil press goes up to 60. If I let go of the gas and wait it comes right back to life. She floods sometimes after hot start egi trick works but why is this happing???

tps gave me good readings only when you pulled on the wires

you could have a blowopen. Setting the tps is one thing, but checking for shorts/blowopens is another.
