A faulty TPS will cut the fuel off when the throttle's open, and create the "brick wall" effect. You'll find it difficult to test it with a meter with the engine running, and while you're driving it.

You really need proper diagnostic equipment like a Pectel monitor to identify intermittent faults like this in real time, or you'll be "chasing ghosts" forever! This will let you (or a passenger!) see in realtime which sensor outputs are wrong.

Also bear in mind that just because you replaced something, it doesn't mean part you replaced was good - you may have replaced a duff part with another duff part inadvertently.
Just spoke to a mate and he's got a good workin tps so I'm gonna grab that off him tonigh and give that a go also while I'm at it il double check the crank sensor gap, is there any way of checkin the cps off the car?
