Possible bad TPS sensor. With ignition OFF, disconnect the sensor, put an analog ohm meter to the center pin and one of the edge pins. Operate the throttle. Depending upon what side of the sensor, you'll read high ohms that will drop to almost zero or almost zero ohms that will rise. The direction doesn't matter, the ohm meter needle movement should be smooth with no sudden jumps. If I'm right, there will be an drop towards the high side of the resistance.
