the throttle position sensor(TPS) is usually located on the side of the thottle body.
TP sensor faillure is common because it has parts that moves each time the accelerator is depressed or released.
it may be or not be the actual problem.
if you can get the code(s) anytime, I'll help.
autozone has campagn to do it for free.
