Did you put the terminals on securley? Before it starts how many volts is your guage reading? And what do you mean messed with the tps? Just fiddle with the screw or do it with a dmm or amm

well it sounds like your fuel filter causing the hesitation.probably should replace it anyway.also the battery cables have a tendacy to deteriorate over time check them out and replace if nessisary.

Some causes of hesitation (the ones I've experienced over the years, anyway)-
1) clogged exhaust
2) clogged fuel filter (in tank)
3) bad water thermo sensor connection
4) bad vac leak (didn't manifest itself until the engine was hot)
