Default Is my TPS going bad?

So I got my Oz-Flow 60 mm BBTB installed correctly finally. laugh.gif: Now when I am driving down the road everything will be fine for awhile then it is as if I totally let off the throttle for a second. I watch the A/F gauge and it totally leans out like engine braking does to it. I am thinking/hoping/praying it is only the TPS. Does it sound like that is what it is? Tibbychick, can you hook me up with one? cool.gif

I am missing one screw, but the other one is tight. Maybe it's twisting. I don't have anything on hand to replace it with though....

^Java, I'm missing one screw on my TPS also and my car works fine. I used some exhaust tape and wrapped it where the screw was missing to give it some support

Ok, I went out and took the one screw I had and put it in the bottom hole. Then I found a miniature zip-tie and put it through the top hole. I reset my ECU and it is idling at 7-800 rpm and driving good. It seems like that fixed it, I guess there is more torque on the TPS than I thought there would be.
