Check Engine Light: On!!!

just this morning my car's idle started to go up and down, it normally idles at 7k but today it would go up to 1100 and then go down to about 2-3k, what is weird is that it drives fine but when i start slowing down the car seems like its going to turn off. anyone have any idea what it could be? or has anyone had this type of problem? by the way my car is a 95 5 spd

Well, you can go to the following link and do it yourself and pay nothing;

Or if your really lazy just go to autozone, that also will cost you nothing.

TPS is the problem, had the same problem with my lightning, I just cleaned it out and the idle was stable.

Go to Autozone and they can check your codes for FREE! If it's code P1705 it's definately your TPS, get it replaced ASAP. I delayed mine so much the tranny started to slip!
