What is your fuel pressure?

Stock lift pump?

It is possible to get another bad TPS, it happens more then you may think. Was it calibrated already?

There are possibilities that it is this. You can attempt a fix or just buy a new VP44. Mine did the same intermittently, but finally threw codes. It was the VP44. Although I had good fuel pressure, I figured the pump possibility did not have that kind of pressure all its life and may have gotten hurt. I was the second owner. I ended up replacing the vp44.
