What size is the engine? For the TPS you cant just install and drive there is a adjustment that has to be done to it, and the use of a volt meter is required,When a vehicle accelerates and shuts off fuel pressure needs to be tested,,MAF (mass air flow) can cause this situation also.,The TPS is on the throttle body.
