yup, could be the TPS, but yours is a 91 and not adjustable.
could also be the shift solenoids in the transmission, or possibly the TCU.

check in that order.

TPS if it happens randomly, solenoids if it happens just at cold.

try unplugging your transmission control module and shift it manually 1 3 od. if it shifts fine than most likely its the tps if it still does not shift than your solenoids are most likely bad
