In the morning suddenly the accelerator didn't work, even while giving the full acceleration the car wouldn't move or rev up. The service engine soon light is on. After 5 mins it started working normally and on long drives it would suddenly rev up the rpm to 4

I got it checked and they said need to replace the TPS sensor and would cost me around $600

I suspect you have a "drive by wire" throttle system. The PCM detected a malfunction and disabled the throttle. Your first step will be to get the codes read and they will give you an idea what your looking for.
