How would you describe this? What does it result from? My max is making some weird sounds over 40-50mph, and they get faster in repetition as i increase speed.

As a side note, im gettin a new TPS tomorrow, think that would fix it? My car was doing the almighty stalling bs.

Any thoughts / opinions would help, thanks.

Have you run the ECU diagonstic yet? This may show any error codes (if it's a sensor problem).

What kind of gas are you putting in? Premium?

When it almost stalls, is this during idle or during decelerating?

No ecu diagnostic, no error lights...

It stalls during idle, or near idle most of the time. Still runs for the most part, just gettin scary now. :>

And i use 92, all the time. If its not the TPS, the other thing i was thinkin about is spark plugs..
