In a word, no. The TPS has no motors or devices with the ability to move the throttle.

What do you mean by, throttle sticking? Is is just hanging at 2000rpm? If that's the case I would be much more inclined to blame the IAC solenoid. It's the cylinder shaped device located infront and connected to the throttle body. If it's truely sticking, the only device that I know of on the car that is capable of directly controlling the accelerator pedal itself is the cruise control.
