I had a week where my car was running crappy. Idle would fluctuate while I was moving slowly. The RPMs would drop randomly.... It was pissing me off

I was troubleshooting just about everything except the TPS because I had replaced it last month with an aftermarket TPS. Today I decided to depress my TPS to perform the DaeSung bad TPS test and my idle surged. I found out that my lower TPS screw was loose.

So I just decided I had to b**** about it to you guys tongue.gif

I don't even have the bottom screw on mine. Broke it off when i did the TB bypass. For the last year it has only had the top screw holding it in.

The bottom screw is very difficult to reach without removing the valve cover. I didn't remove the valve cover.

Dude, I keep telling you to come here.

I hate those things too. I just replaced one, then a month later I have to replace the whole engine.
