Default TPS blues

I started having the acceleration problems that were all to common so I replaced the TPS. Well a month after that, the problem returned. Its not as bad as the first time but its still there. Right now I don't care about it, but I will when I put my turbo kit in. Should I just keeping popping them in like they were going out of style, or look else where?

Ok, the problem you're having, does it follow these symptoms?

1. Rough idle?

2. After you let off the gas pedal while in motion, the car gives a little jerk after a few seconds?

The problem I'm having is when stomping on the gas, so to speak, the car hesitates with a jerky motion. Its only when I start to accelerate hard, other wise its fine.

: My idle does go up and down about 100 RPM but I think thats just due to bad intake flow.

I replaced my TPS again but it got worse. I'm thinking its my bad custom intake setup. I'll just suffer till I get my turbo kit. frown
