bad tps?

my car is having issues, when im acelerating more than 20% on the throttle in gear the engine light comes on and the car runs like crap and doesnt go anywhere. does this mean i need a new tps, ive already adjusted it twice with no positive effects. i hope it hasnt gone bad b/c im out of town with my car...so are my worst fears true?

I see it's a '91. If that's correct, you'll be able to pull the code through the "check engine light", then we'll know the problem area.
