I have not experienced this first hand, So, I cant say for sure. But, by the symptoms listed here, it sounds like your cpu is going bad. Like I said, I dont know for sure. Other thing that may or may nto cause this, Possibly a bad ground somewhere dealing with the computer, lose wiring on the computer. Good luck.

Make sure there is no binding in the linkage and throttle body, post back, also did this start after changing the tps?
