well then .. i an getyting my fuel injectors cleaned tomorrow and i'll ask about the tps.. btw i'm new to the term tps, wat is it??

 

Fuel injectors cleaned tommarow? Don't do that, that's a waste of money

 

Throttle Position Sensor. If you look at your intake manifold, it is right behind it (as in, towards the firewall). It is the topmest metal thing connected to a long hose off the intake mani if you can't find it still.

 

Actually that is incorrect. What you just described is the Idle Air Control (IAC). The TPS is mounted on the front side of the throttle body. It is a small black box held onto the side of the throttle body with two screws.

 

Yeah, like they said, try replacing it, especially if it is labeled Dae Sung. Mine died without throwing any codes. Only indication was the accelerator was halfway to the floor cruising at 70 mph.

Cleaning out the IAC with contact cleaner or brake cleaner can't hurt anything either.

 

thanks i'll take a look at em..

 

If you can get a multimeter on the blue or lime wire on the TPS and ground, it will indicate changing ohms with the vehicle off when you actuate the throttle....

I have a Keifco, but I'm about to check mine beause it coughed 2 times today after idling all day at a car show.
