With it unplugged it ran like absolute ****. But the way it ran seemed to be just an aggrivated version of the crap it's already doing.

Wanting to stall when moving from a stop. Chugging under acceleration.

Hmm...

EDIT: Herc, during one of my first weeks of going to school, on my way out of town, the car threw a P0121 code, TPS Range/performance.

I've yet to see another TPS code. Would a faulty TPS also make it hard for the car to shift into OD? BEcause even on the highway going 60, sometimes it just does NOT want to shift into overdrive.

I am not a pro, but looking at your TPS and your LTFT together, gets me all confused. Wonder if Herc is right?

Maybe you have something messed up in the shift tables?

I sprayed my TPS down with electrical cleaner when I did the rest of the sensors. I figure if anything was lodged in there that it as out now.

Any ways I can check the TPS?

EDIT: I have never touched a thing outside the MAF table. The only thing besides the MAF table I have adjusted is turning off my P0300 and P1133 codes.

TPS could cause wierd shifting. Since it does have input into downshift for WOT etc.

Since it ran worse with the MAF unplugged I'd rule that one out.

If the TPS is sending info that is within "range" a code shouldn't pop but at the same time if it's not showing the proper throttle position (ie. closed throttle when actually it's half throttle)you could get issues that will mess with your fueling.

Turn your key to on.. but dont start it... set your interceptor (or PT) to TP % and then watch it as you step on the gas.

TPS is fine. Full readings from 0-99.

When you sprayed the TPS, did you unplug the connector and dry it out? My ex-boss was notorious for shorting out TP Sensors, whenever he'd pressure wash an engine... :rolleyes:
You might also take a look at your EGR valve; make sure it doesn't have any carbon jamming it up.

MAP sensor is fine, I was reading it earlier today. Is there something SPECIFIC you want me to check about it?

I'll try the EGR tomorrow if I can. Somebody suggested that too but I had unplugged it and drove but nothing changed.

No, I let the TPS dry out first. That stuff dries really quick.

No Codes? Symtoms sound similar to johnnywholenote issues. He just found out it may be the ignition module.

If you have the EGR unplugged and a piece of carbon is blocking the pintle, nothing will change. wink

I clear the codes all the time, thye come back the moment I stay on the highway for more thna 5 minutes.

And the only code is that P0133 code, and that's just a nuisance because I KNOW my exhaust is fine.

I don't have time tonight to **** with the car, gotta go to school in an hour. Maybe tomorrow after school.

BTW, I REALLY REALLY like working in the deli. It's a blast!
