Yes it sounds like you need a new TPS. I work at a parts store myself and I also own a 1998 Ford Ranger. Mine has a 5-speed manual in it, and when my TPS went, I'd press the clutch to up or downshift and the RPMs would stick at 2000-2200, and remain there until long after i depressed the clutch. Made driving stickshift annoying, but yes, 1998s are known for faulty TPS.
