Replaced TPS.... wow perfect idle!
Hello all.
I myself as many others have had Extensive Issues/Problems with Idle.
Ive had every EVAP code, every purge valve control china town code..
Ive replaced about 10different sensors including all O2 and knocksensor....
BUT: yesterday i decided to remove the TB and got the dremel out to remove the TPS screws. Replaced the TPS w/one from Autozone.
WOW! my car actually has a warm-up idle now
My car doesnt run so rich on fuel either.
I recommend this for anyone who has idle issues and problems stalling. My car use to stall the first 3 times i started it every-morning. I actually see this engine lasting till 250,000 miles now. at 186,000 now...still blazin...

How much is a TPS from autozone? Did your TPS philips-head screws strip as well? I'm having the same trouble... (I was just going to remove mine to play one day, but the screws started deforming)... I need an impact screwdriver...

REMOVAL: Took 2minutes. Get a Dremel. Get a cutting wheel. I have extras of this laying around. Make 1 good cut across the TOP of the philips screw head, make it deep but not all the way down or youll cut the tip off and have to drill out the holes... (i suggest turning the dremel up on high and making 1 fast cut that way you dont loose alot of the tip to lock ur straight screw driver onto). then i think you have only one shot! after that the 2sides of the tip may break off b/c not much is there after making the cut. yes ur using a straight screw driver bc you made the single big cut w/ the dremel.
Ive honestly cleaned every EVAP crap part and replace all my hoses in the past 2 yrs. Ive been needing this part for 2 yrs now and it really feals like a new car...

Yeah you'd be suprised how much you really use it. I use mine all the time.
I actually used it last night to grind down the center on the grill so my New Gold-Nissan Badge woud sit flush on the grill. 97 grill.~wise investment imo

Unbelieveable, I really hope this fixes my idle problem also. Did if feel like the car was ever so slightly vibrating on idle, but the second you pressed the gas a little, the vibration smoothed out, and you couldn't even tell? I also am running a little rich b/c I can smell it from the back, and I see carbon deposits on my muffler after about 2-3 days.

JeremysBlkMax97: Dude my car vibrated like a 69cuda... it loped it was getting so bad...even back fired out the intake once i think.
konak85The EVAP Codes went away when i sprayed WD-40 in the canister, cleaned the EVAP purge control valve w/TB cleaner, replaced some hose's and EVAP cleaning. The ECU-Codes may have dissappeared at that time, but it didnt run much better. Now the car has a steady nice smooth idle. Something ive been missing for quite some time now...
