Yet another problem

I seemed to have fixed it all....until now. I was having a problem with the car running very crappy. I replaced the fuel filter, distributer cap and rotor and it was fine. (side note: before that I have replaced the radiator, thermostat, and alt) Now I start the car, starts perfect, idles perfect. Drives kind of boggy, when I give it normal old lady street driving it seems ok. When I gas it, the car boggs for a sec and then kicks in. It seems like it almost gets too much gas for a split sec. I am going to try and get a sound/video clip of it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Brian

Take a close look at the TPS resistance throughout the range, and check the weatherpack connector for signs of corrosion or failure.

I dont know what the TPS resistance is, nor do I know where the weatherpack connector is. If you or anyone else could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
