sounds like the TPS is eaither out of adjustment or it's on it's way out.Do a seach there are all kinds of wrightups for TPS adjustments.You will need a digital muti meter to set the TPS correctly.
actually many people including myself prefere a analog multimeter because not only will you be able to adjust the tps you'll be able to make sure it's not goin bad by seeing if it make the needle sweep smoothly

But for ease of adjustment a little tiny, twelve buck mulitmeter from RatShack will do just fine. Just set the meter on dc volts, back probe the green/red wire at the tps connector, turn the key to ON with a fully hot engine and adjust the screw to one volt. Done.
