It only does it a time or two and i also get the check engine light.
Where is this TPS located so i can check it

The TPS is on the side of the throttle body, on the centerline of the throttle plate (the pivot for the plate goes into the TPS on one side, and to the throttle cable bellcrank on the other side). Two small torx screws hold it on.
Mine had a noticable rattle when shaken, and the part that rotates with the throttle plate shaft had no resistance in it when I tried to turn it.
The effect on the tranny was first gear would hang on too long, and sometimes I had to drop the throttle to get it to upshift (at least it felt that way, I didn't want to over-rev it). Almost exactly like a blown vacuum modulator feels, if you've ever had that experience.
