Alright guys the other night I installed a P&P IM, BBTB, and spacers. The car has been driving amazing since then with practically no complaints.... till today. Today I drove out to a meet in Orlando about an hour or so from where I live (all highway). Well around the end of the trip, if I would let go off the gas pedal at about 3-4k when the engine got about 2-3k the whole car would shake as if it was about to turn off and I would then have to give it gas. However, when I got off and into city driving the car drove like a champ again. Then of course on the way back I had the same issue.

Can this be the TPS? I have the bad one but it has until today not given me any problems. Other relevant info is that I have an auto, which has been shifting different since this whole install (but in a good way, crisper shifts if you will). Thanks in advance for the help.

I had a similar problem where my car kinda stallled, when at low rpms.

In my case it only happened when it was cold out.
But once I had to change my battery it went away.


Idk if it has anything to do with it but always something to check.

^^^^ Well my battery is only like 1 month or 2 old so I doubt that's the problem. Plus it's only when I let go of the gas pedal between 3-4 maybe 4.5k. Also, it wasn't too cool out today lol.

Hmmm shoot me a price. I'll probably take it since I should change to the good one anyways lol. However, if anyone else has any input to what this problem could be let me know.
