    stumbling problem need help

    This is an odd problem and I can't seem to figure out. It usually occurs while cruising above 45 mph. The engine seems to just cut off...here's the odd thing if I let off or accelerate it clears up and seems to do ok for a while. Increasing the speed to 70 and above the issue becomes more pronounced to the point the car will shut off requiring me to pull off and wait a minute or two before it will restart. During the stumbles the fuel pressure does not fluctuate. I swapped the hep with another used one and have the same issue. I've cleaned and tightened all grounds and checked the harness connections and haven't found anything. This is a 2.5 with bb flashable sbec. The car runs really good outside of this issue any advice or things I should take a look at would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I would look at the MAP line, wires and connections.
    I would also check the TPS.

    Just guessing here but things I would look at.

    Looks like the tps is faulty I checked sweep and voltage. Sweep was good but idle is .55v and wot 3.65v. I had a spare but sweep is bad and sets the cel just off idle to about 1/4 throttle. Is there a source for a new tps other than the junkyard?

    Got a good tps now and that code has cleared. I still have this intermittent issue. It doesn't trip any codes when it occurs.
