TPS error code issues

Hello all,

New to this forum.

So I have a 2003 Tacoma and have been having issues with what my computer says is a bad tps. When I'm driving, out of nowhere and at random I will lose throttle then the idle with go up and the throttle won't engage until I have the throttle half way to the floor. The code comes up with tps. It goes in to a limp mode. Shifting from neutral to drive is really rough to where it will jerk your head and give you a fleeling like ohh that doesn't feel good. As soon as you turn the car off and back on, it goes back to running perfect again. So I made a call to China and was about to get 5 sent to me. Changed it out and had a shop check it to make sure it was all aligned correctly. Everything was running good. Then it happened again. When I first started getting this issue, the only modification I had done was the k&n intake system. Could the intake be causing this? Has anyone had any issues like this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
