1997 GSR T.P.S problem?

Alrighty guys, i wanted to ask you guys your thoughts on this before buying a new throttle body... or a new T.P.S.

My car has been wanting to bog down like i am not giving it gas when only giving it slight throttle. I noticed this on the highway trying to just maintain speed at 70mph... and holding the throttle steadily.... when all of a sudden... it was like i took my foot off the gas... and started slowing down.

I eased my foot into the pedal... and at about half way in BAM kicks back in... full power... and like everythings fine.... then once again trying to just hold steady throttle at 70mph.... just to maintain speed... it did it a again... over and over.

If i get deep into the throttle its fine and runs normal... its ONLY when i am barely giving it throttle... and has been doing it on any gear now... if just trying to maintain speed....

No misfiring... no running issues(other than this).... good fuel... good spark... i cant think of anything other than the TPS going bad.

Any thoughts?

Thanks~
-Corey

I would definitely appreciate it.
