I had the same problem awile back. I verified that my TPS was not set right. After that I had no problems that you are having. You may want to check It out IMO.

You may want to check this one out. http://home.rmci.net/panther/tps.htm Jeff Is the man. I also zeroed Into a tee my TPS by using the 1 volt method aswell. Be sure to do this when your engine Is off and the Ignition on "On". What the hell, Hailers Is the man too.
