I posted a few weeks ago about how my car has been chugging and there has been a tapping/knocking/snapping from under the hood at WOT. I replaced ALL of the ignition parts, so thats not it. Any ideas before I start spending money on parts.

could be that your TPS has a bad spot in it. You can check for this condition with an older style analog ohmeter. Ground one side of the meter and hook up the other end to the middle/blue wire on the sensor. Now opoen the throttle slowly and check to see if the needle rises smoothly. Any bad spot will show up as the needle dips or stops moving.
