yes definitely sounds like it could be your TPS, and if it isn't that your timing is being retarded by some rogue noises.

Yes, I suppose your knock sensor could be bad, or even your knock module though I rarely hear of those crapping out.

Had the same problem on my S-10. It was the plug wires. 110,000 on them unknowingly. Were fine until I changed the head gasket and moved them around a lot. When I put them back on the truck spit and spuddered only on quick accellerations. Put new ones on and it drove fine. Just something to look into though.
