Not the throttle body unless the cable bracket broke. Test it by revving under the hood by hand.

How's the cat? How many miles on it? You can test by removing the pre-cat sensor and seeing if it accelerates better.

Plugged cat is one possibility. Also have a look at fuel pressure.

Do you feel the trans shift? Downshift when you stomp on the throttle?
