Forklift jumps then dies?

We have a TW40 3 wheel forklift and it devloped an issue where it jumps and then nothing. It will basically move 2 feet on the motor jump then its dead. If you try to creap it in does nothing until you are far enough in to engage the motor which dies instantly. You can still shift if forward and reverse the reverse beeper comes on. TO get it to jump another few feet you have to put it in nuetral and cycle the key on and off. We are guess it is the throttle but I am not sure what to test or check 1st. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
