It won't shut down the fuel pump, as far as I know. If your having fuel issues, check fuel pressure.

What kind of problem are you having? What makes you think the tps has a problem?

When it's cold, will crank right up and run fine. After warm up, skips and sputters like it has jumped time when you try to accelerate

Hello,

it sounds like you have an engine coolant temperature sensor that has gone out but to be sure can we run the codes to see what come up? Here is a guide to help us get started.

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
