Default Full throttle shut off

Well finaly got the old 944 back, oil leak (hopefully) fixed. So driving it yesterday it started to cut out at full throttle and instantly regain it self if you back off. Last night it was very consistant not related to rpm, road speed or gear just throttle position, this morning it wasn't consistant. When it shuts off its very harsh not partial fuel starvation but probably electrical ie spark (all four) or injectors very much like throwing a switch off and on.
Other than this its driving fine I just need to stay away from full throttle.
Any ideas? all your help is appriciated.
Thanks

Thanks V2, at what point does the TPS switch? All is fine until the throttle is literally on the floor back even just a touch it's fine.

Well its fixed.... well no not quite it just decided to start working normally before I got around to testing it. I think its a cunning fuel saving device, preventing use of full throttle

Wow, I totally missed this thread after posting. Glad you were able to figure it out with Clark's. Might be a dirty electrical connection.
