The car is sluggish, sometimes won't go over 20 MPH, check engine light comes on, then after a while it runs great, does this intermittently. The computer codes show TPS. Should I replace just the sensor or the whole throttle body? The throttle body complete part is expensive. I also am having a hard time finding the directions on line on how to replace the throttle body so I can do it myself. Any insight would be great, thank you.

That may be all one unit and the tps by itself isn't replaceable. As far a throttle body removal disconnect all electrical and hoses unbolt it and install the new one with anew gasket. But try cleaning throttle plate on both sides and iac hole if one with choke cleaner it may be just sticky. Car will start hard probably after doing this.
