When you say TPS, are you talking about the throttle position sensor? If yes, a faulty TPS will not cause stalling, hesitation, lack of power or bad gas mileage. It will prevent the transmission from upshifting at the proper time as speed is increased.

Yes that's what I'm talking about. And yes it does cause late shifting along with the other I named.
