What are symptoms of a failing FPR? or AMM? 700 1989

I've had this ongoing hesitation whilst driving (in gear, never happens at idle). The hesitation is very intermittent but seems to be cured and/or tied to the throttle operation. For good measure I've got a TPS on order to install just in case that is the problem. However I'm wondering if the FPR could be going bad and possibly be causing this. A new FPR was put on by the PO a few months ago but I guess it's always possible the part could be defective. My other thought is maybe the AMM is going bad, but I've read that when they go it's usually an all or nothing thing, besides which it should be running like crap most of the time and for the most part it runs pretty good. Also for good measure I've got a few of the turbo hoses on order as well since some of them were disintegrating inside (at least two of the other more expensive bigger hoses have already been replaced). What do you guys think?
