you mean unplug the vacum on the regulator? If so I have 40 but with vacum 30! Is that about right?

Yes, you are correct, by unplugging the vacuum going into the regulator. And those numbers are normal that you've measured.

Where did you get the TPS? I went through 3 bad ones from autozone on my ranger before I got the one from Ford. I'd look at the MAF also.

It could be clogged cats giving you the flat feeling when you try and accelerate. Pull the secondary 02 sensors and see if the engine runs runs better when trying to put fuel to it. If so, then the cats are FUBAR.
