car dies after hard acceleration,drives kind of fat,,did improve a little by changing to a new maf sensor,but it still drives kind of rough(fat),and the check engine light flickers now and then. could it be the tps sensor?? while scanning for codes,i did get 5 codes,2 for the maf sensor(replace that) 2 codes for the oxygen sensor(lean) figure it was because of the bad maf sensor,and another code being the ("TPS open?)....need input my fellow buickbrothers,thanks
 
Offhand, TPS open suggests the TPS sensor is failing.

What are the exact trouble codes you are getting?
