Re: throttle problems
The hitting it with a screwdiver worked from church street to effingham, couldn't get the bottom screw off the sensor, called a tow truck. Fml

Re: throttle problems
At least you know where the problem is... 
Quick search on TPS netted prices from $65-120....

How far did you have to drive? from Bier Garden to where??? At least you escaped Portsmouth....

Re: throttle problems
Ok ****** rigged the tps on and its even worse now, wont go above 2100 rpm, kinda feels like what turbo drag cars do at a staging line...two stepping? between that and 1k, and then shut off and wouldnt start again. I did leak out some anti freeze when I took off what I thought was a vacuum line but that wouldnt be the problem i dont think.
I HATE THIS CAR

Re: throttle problems
Did you adjust the new one? I'm mobile right now and can't check what your values should be, but I bet that's all you have to do... Unless you've got another faulty sensor. Mine adjusts by loosening it and slightly moving the sensor up or down...

Re: throttle problems
Ok...so they duct taped the intake tube, it was cracked, and it seemed to fix the staying running part. Now I need to adjust the TPS, the haynes guide makes it seem kinda complicated using vacuum lines and shit

Re: throttle problems
Make sure your TPS is fixed...then:
#1 hit on Alldata by far is dirty MAF sensor. Make sure you have no vacuum leaks 1st and foremost. If you have a decent scanner-check fuel trims at idle and acceleration. Also-your MAF may not appear dirty-but carefully clean it anyway-the slightest amount of dirt or grime will make a huge difference. Its also a good idea to run a quality fuel injector cleaner at the same time.
