Smooth Throttle Response
My throttle response is not too smooth.
It is like there is no response mid throttle while driving.
Just easing into the gas, there is no response or change in rpm.
Until you get to near full throttle and it suddenly pulls.
Easing on and off the gas in the mid-throttle range bring no response.
I suspected the tps, replaced it, and no change.
Any ideas?

Car idles fine.
WOT seems fine.
Just in the middle it sporadically builds power.
(hard to put into words what it is doing)
Have not thought of egr.
It still has it. Nothing has been removed or bypassed.
Just cruising and ease into the throttle alittle, it does not respond.
Keep easing into it, and at a certain point near wot, it jumps.
Suddenly responding to the gradual increase in throttle.
That is what made me suspicious of the tps.
