Default Help needed 93 LS 400 non responsive when I push the gas paddle

Hi I need your help with my 93 LS 400. My car cuts off but starts right back up also it will lose all power while driving, it stays running but I could floor the gas paddle all the way to the floor but the car remains non responsive meaning the engine won't rev up. It gets a rough idle. I have had this car for 17 years. It has 291k miles & transmission was replaced at 171k. I took it to the dealer they changed throttle position sensor but kept the car for 3 weeks & said they couldn't replicate the problem. Dealer told me that fuel air mix is a little off but there is no code showing up. I also replaced fuel pump along with plugs & wires, air filter & fuel filter but the car still has the same symptoms. Help me guys.

When you say " it will lose all power while driving"... do you actually mean power or are you referring to throttle response?

no throttle response is what I mean. I press on the gas but the rpm's will not go up but the engine remains running & all others functions remain normal accept the engine is non responsive to gas peddle
