I finally replaced my blown out TPS, took about 4 hours to get the 2 hex nuts off the sensor, but it was worth it! After having the battery unplugged for the whole 4 hours, I put everything back together and took it for a spin. It felt like I had just installed a turbo! I never knew a blown sensor could hog so much power! Time to go to the track with the OHV!
See y'all @ the JCO Bash
... takes me about 20 minutes to get the TPS off....
4 hours man? haha I'd love to do labor on your car.
Enjoy the track have fun.
I wanna see that car at the JCO BASH!
and the new TPS........
ECOTEC now with Maximum Bolt-Ons!!
How much for a TPS sensor? Did you get it at GM?
Man for my eco they wanted 45 bux for a new tps.
Only took like 2 minutes on the install.
how could you tell it was bad, a light?
Shifting was horrible, and the fan was always on.
did you file your TPS reports? Ummm, Yeah... did you not get the memo? - Bill Lumberg
Are there any other symptoms of a bad TPS? How would I check that it works properly?
I was happy when I heard my car ran 10s. Then I found out that was 0-60.
so ur saying on my car if the fan is always on my tps is bad?
would it make my car idle rough???

It would have been a 15 minute job, but the 2 hex nuts were completely stripped smooth.

syptoms of a bad TPS.....engine cuts in and out when traveling at highway speeds, and responds to throttle movements differently. it wears out and the contact goes out in it....which means it doesnt send a signal to the ECU to figure out the AFR.
well my 2.2 idles funny but as soon as u give it gas it revs up perfect...but goes and idles funny again...almost stalls

^^^ sounds like the iac is bad ( idle air controller)
Dark for fear of failure
An inner gloom as wide as an eye and fermenting
Roiling hate
Death gripped my veins
Unveiling rancid petals
Flowering forth foul nectar
The space between a blink and a tear
Death blooms.-mudvayne
