the tps is broken and might need replacing; usually if the rpms drop strangely when in cruise control, that is a sign the tps is shot.

The TPS is used for all sorts of stuff, so get it replaced soon. If you have an auto tranny, the TPS is used for shift points. For the fuel/spark management, the TPS is used for timing & fuel supply, among other things. It's a cheap part, so it won't cost an arm and a leg.

Cheap????

I thought the tps cost about $75. Maybe I was miss informed, or maybe that is cheap for you
