can this be done while I'm waiting to get a new one or will having the TPS unplugged cause further problems ?

So your TPS right now doesn't even work? Your ECU will fail safe into a preset config if you unplug the TPS. I believe the TPS fail safe is telling the computer that it is wide open throttle when it is unplugged. Can you drive it unplugged? I couldn't even get mine to start when I unplugged it let alone drive it. Say it does start... I don't even know if it will idle or rev up. It will maybe rev up but cruising it will be running way rich

i know that when it is on its way out. it bucks like a mother.

yep it bucked like crazy when driving


it starts and runs fine when unplugged.

just drove it around a little bit havent had any problems yet

except that i need a new oil pressure gauge again
(maybe its time to get a manual oil pressure gauge because the car keeps frying the oem ones...)

well, doesnt the tps only work on part of the throttle or something? i dont know any of the specifics

i did drive around for a bit the only problem that i noticed is back firing on deceleration if i leave it in gear so i imagen that its running quite rich

but besides for that it runs smooth
