Default Bucking while going up hills and just cruising

Hey guys I just bought a 01 Jeep Cherokee. It sat for 2 years and fires right up and sounds good but when I'm driving up hills or just cruising it bucks and then stops when I give it more throttle check engine light says throttle position sensor so I put one in and the lights still on and it's still bucking. Any ideas!?

Remove the MAP sensor and check/replace the seal where it mounts to the throttle body. It could have dried out and is not sealing.
