Throttle feels like it is losing signal

2018 Tacoma Trd Offroad 4x4. Driving at low speed or pulling away from a stop and usually turning , my Throttle just kind of goes dead even with the pedal on the floor it won't accelerate passed about 1200 rpm. If I lift off and reapply then it comes back. Thinking it could be the TPS but wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I do have a Sprint Booster installed but happens even with that turned off.
 
If the Sprint Booster is like the Pedal Commander, it takes its power from the truck's instrumentation 5 volt power supply, it may be suffering from a lack of current and it is have trouble doing what it is supposed to.. That 5 volt supply is designed to have sufficient power for the instruments and was not designed to power much of anything else.

I had a Pedal Commander that acted up and I read of several users that had some really catastrophic results with theirs. I returned the Pedal Commander and went tot he Banks Pedal Monster. It takes its power from the OBDII port. Much more reliable.

Take the Sprint Booster out of the line and reattach the gas pedal back to stock configuration. I think your issue will go away.
