Need help :(
I swapped out my TPS, it seemed to help for a bit. Car stalled today on the road, pissed me off. (2 or 3 times)
What would cause the car to drop down to ~490 rpms when im in first gear and breaking?
Then last time it stalled it straight up dropped to like 50rpms... kaput.
A totally different issue the car has is that sometimes when i step on the gas it takes a while for the car to start moving, then a whole bunch of torque is felt.. kinda like how people describe a highstall torque convertor.. think perhaps i need to clean mine out?
No clue. Just tired of this.
BTW, if the TPS helped for a lil bit, then cars doing this again... is there something like a recall on 4th gens for this? Last i checked 97's had no recalls. I've got an auto..
Thanks :> Hope to get this fixed n hookup some ECU & VB fun.

You changed a new TPS in your car already?
Why? Old one already dead?
Anyways.... most of them need to be adjusted properly (at least the old ones did...)

it was better for a while.. now its starting to get pissy again. 
It was only like 54 bucks and uhh i stalled at school (while going into the turn lane as ppl were crossing) .. and power breaks went... that was the last straw.
i forked out without even testing it, didnt care at that point.

Hi, great site, thankyou for your generosity of your time.
Quick question, if pin #1 from your write up, one the male plug furtherest from the drivers side has 0 volts does that mean there is a problem in the ecu? the car runs with it plugged in or not with very little change in rpms during the process, thought for sure it would throw a CEL. Only PO codes read from the reader is 0325 KS, 0120 TPS, and 1705 tranny or TPS which were cleared a few days ago and have not come back. car has 200k miles.
look forward to your response
