When under hard acceleration the engine goes to idle and there is no throttle control. If the key is turned off and engine restarted throttle control is regained. Only code is E52 How is this adjusted?

First you need to clean out your throttle plates, use 2 cans of carb cleaner to clean them, there probally black inside, open them way up and ck the 2 tubes down inside the intake throat and see if there plugged also, ( these are EGR tubes) clean them with a coat hanger. After that you need to back probe the TPS with the ISC motor fully retracted and then unplug it( a 4 or 5 wire connector), your looking for a voltage of.5 volts no more no less, loosen the TPS screws a little to adjust it. An idle relearn will need to be preformed after that
