Sounds like it could be starved for fuel. Have the fuel pressure checked. And replace the fuel filter if it has never been replaced before.

Try all the above and then if that does not work, disconnect the TPS plug and try again. It could be a dead spot in the TPS. Only takes ten minutes to find out.
