Rally Pat Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Sometimes when I am at stop lights, and it turns green, it stalls when I press the throttle. I think it might be a sensor, but I am not quite sure. I tried running a bottle or two of injector cleaner, and it seemed to help a little but, but as soon as I spent that tank of gas, it seemed to start doing it again. I dont quite understand whats going on with it. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Dead spot in the TPS sensor is a likely culprit. Hook it up to a scope and see if there is any noise in the potentiometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Yeah, I was thinking it might be the TPS. Ill hook my potentiometer up to it and get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ok, I disconnected the TPS all together and it runs like a champ, so I am pretty sure thats what it was. Now I just need to wait till next paycheck to replace it. NAPA has one for $33, and Advanced has one for $31. Is that as cheap as they get short of Pick-n-Pull?

Lustalbert Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Go for the new one. $27 on rock auto. A used one, who know how long till it fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
