I have the same problem, and there are a few sensors that do the same thing on vehicles now days. a bad tps sensor will cause: transmission shift issues, bucking, jerking, idle surging, engine cutoff, hesitation on take off, surge while cruising down highway. all of these symptoms do not have to be presant. a problem code does not light up if problem is not severe, even if codes do not come up you can still have a bad sensor. I have a 2000 Malibu 3.1, the tps is on side of throttle body at throttle plate, it is black and round, I believe the elec, connection has 3 wires!! take out 2 screws holding the tps in, pull off of throttle plate arm, when putting back on make sure you use a new o ring. when putting it on make sure that the throttle plate is closed. HOPE THIS HELPS, CARL
