Massive hesitation - 94 Pickup 3VZE

Hey guys,

I would appreciate some feedback in helping diagnosing the issue I'm having with my truck.

Yesterday it started right away but as I was driving out the engine started stumbling and died a couple of times. I was only a few hundred yards from home so managed to restart it and bring it back to the garage. It felt like there was very little power at the wheels even at high rpm.

There is a huge delay between the throttle pedal and the revs. It takes about 1 sec with the pedal floored to get the revs climbing. It's like the engine is fuel starving. Where should I start from? throttle sensor->fuel pump...or even worse?

Thanks!

I am placing bets on TPS! Either not adjusted properly or has gunk/oil/water inside it.

I've experienced almost the exact same thing, and it was because I didn't have my TPS adjusted properly.
