ok what cause a 2cnd gen to buck,pop and run like crap when its idling(trying) and when your giving it only 1-30 percent throttle or so? but when its half or more throttle it drives normal?

 

Throttle Position Sensor.

 

bad or just way off adjusted?

 

yeah, narrow range tps. Reset it

 

well i need to know the exact way to reset it. i have done just about everything to it. i dont see how it could be so far off without the screwcoming out. is it possible for it to go completly ou t?

 

It is possible, but unlikely. Set it with a Multimeter, or a dual led adjusting thingamabob.

 

Does the exhaust smell funny too? A bad tank of gas cause this on my 'vert a few months ago... I thought it was water in the fuel, and put some 'DryGas' and fuel injector cleaner in it but that didn't help. Then I thought that one of the cats might be clogged, ('because of the funny exhaust smell) but the problem went away immediately with a fresh tank of gas.... Go figure.

 

Here is a how-to.
