1997 civic ex problems please help

1997 civic ex will die if gas pedal pressed fast wont if pressed slow
I have a 1997 civic ex d16y7 I am having problems
The car randomly died on me and after that it would not start at all
We towed it home and got it started but when i press the gas pedal and make it higher rpm in nuetral it would die and if i press the pedal down slowly it would let me bring the rpm up all the way without dying. BY THE WAY THERE WAS NO CODES AT ALL TILL I PUT NEW TPS IN. then my neighbor looked at it we then tested some stuff;
All plugs had spark compression each cylinder was fine we then changed the fuel pump
And then replaced the throttle position sensor I haven't clocked the tps yet because I need to borrow a multimeter . I need help I don't know what is causing this , can it be the tps needing to be clocked or what?

If you can get those codes read it may be very helpful.

The next thing I can suggest is to test the Crankshaft and Camshaft position sensors.

Also was the fuel filter changed when you replaced the fuel pump?
