[QUOTE="Addermk2, post: 817753, member: 8201"] the issue is not in the TPS. Its usually due to people fucking with the idle set screw on the side of the TB, or disconnecting the battery and not performing the proper base idle proceedures after its reconnected. So heres what you do. Search for vac leaks... ensure that you have NONE!!!! make sur you check the hoses under the manifold, they are notorious for going bad. start the car and allow it to get to full operating temp. adjust your idle set screw in a few turns (like you are raising the idle) start the car (it should be idling high) Unplug the IAC (the car should NOT stall) slowly lower the rpm's by loosening the idle set screw. You want the idle with the IAC unplugged to be around 675 rpms. tighten the lock nut on the idle screw (and dont touch it again) shut off the car and reconnect the IAC disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes to clear the KAM, also step on the brakes a few times to kill any residual power left in the system. This should fix your issue. If you are still having idle problems, suspect that you have not found all of your vac leaks, if any are present, OR your O2 sensors could be bad. [/QUOTE]
