car dies when gas is pressed, please help

just when i thought finally my car is problem free another problem begins. my engine starts fine but when its warmed up it dies when i press the gas. it only does this when the car is hot enough. if i let the car cool for half an hour and start up the car it will idle fine and rev as normal but if i leave it idle for about ten minutes and press gas the engine dies. has anyone had this problem before? tps is showing weird voltage at idle and when gas is pressed, a computer hooked up to the car shows ignition is dying out when car stalls. could it be the igniter or tps? please help

Sounds like you answered your own question.

Whether it's the cause of your problem or not, a bad TPS isn't a good thing. This speed-density system seems to be more dependant on TPS than other systems, IMHO. Attack this first before blaming the igniter.

I had that problem yesterday. I jiggled around with some wires around the battery for a temporary fix I believe it was somethin in the harness when i moved the battery.
