The MAF is clean I replaced the fuel filter that helped some. It revs higher now but still stumbles at around 3K. If I throttle it fast it stumbles around 2K. I was going to replace the FPR but mine doesn't leak it might be clogged. Doing some research tonite I think it could be the TPS. I am going to replace that tomorrow.
 












Good news I replaced the TPS with a new one and that was it, its fixed! So she rolls again!
 






I'm having the same issue pretty much. Etermitent throttle cut out happens once i get up to speed anywhere between 35 - 55 mph. Working fine then it just cuts out to about 10% throttle until i feather the pedal get back in it and then it takes off again. I replaced the TPS and that seemed to mke it worse. Anyone know the fix for this?
 






You could try replacing the fuel filter. I did that first and my problem improved some. So my filter was clogged but was not the primary problem.
