Hi Stu, I have a 93 Aero and I had the exact same symptom recently... occasionally, under acceleration the TCS light would come on and the car would lose all power, go into limp home mode. It would reset itself completely when the car was restarted.
Over time, it got progressively worse, happening more and more frequently.
My mechanic also diagnosed it as a failed throttle body and said that he was suprised to see mine had lasted as long as it had (I have 145K miles). Replacing the throttle body fixed the problem in my car, although if there are cheaper things to try first, like cleaning little connections and stuff, then you should do that, since the throttle body is very expensive... there is a company that rebuilds them and my mechanic has had good luck with the rebuilt ones. I think you can find them in the classifieds, if you want email me and I'll give you their number.
It will reduce the price of the part by a LOT.
GOOD LUCK!
