get the connection to the TPS cleaned & checked for terminal tightness, this should solve the problem
check the earth wire on the body next to the battery most the time the second wire is loose and the wire on the back of the passanger side head can get loose aswell if they are ok you could have a comp fault uncommon but i have seen it at work once or twice sometime you can dissconnect battery, remove left hand kick panel and unplug comp for alittle bit then connect back up and see how you go.
