Bucking under accel

Well, today i took my car out for a drive and randomely noticed a HUUGE bucking under acceleration. Drove it 2 days before and it ran fine. Started it up today and let it idel and warm up etc, then took it out. I shifted at like 3k in 1st; no problems. started driving in 2nd and hit a bunch of bucking at like 2700 or so rpm. Similar issue in third. I checked here and it seems tps sensor may be the problem (i have an s4 so i only have one right?). I checked under "troubleshooting" in my crappy manual (chilton i think) and looked under hesistation and loss of power. It listed like 20 things, a couple of which said "see dealer". This is my only car so help asap would be good. Oh, car is bone stock except aftermarket cat and pipe the previous owner got when hes old cat burned out. thanks. IF it is the tps, what should i do? just replace it or what? thanks,.

sorry im not much help.. but look at http://fc3spro.com/TECH/HOWTO/TPS/tps.html

this will help you adjust.. take off the tmic, and its a piece of cake.. this will eliminate this as a prob if you can follow this how to. at least that way you can work on the next thing.
