Help a dude out, adjusted TPS, now Ive got bouncy idle and stiff pedal!
Ok, heres the scoop. Car had cracked TID. Startup, then die(unless warm??). Made 3in TID, and added K&N cone. Car starts, doesent die, idles at 2000-2200rpm. ??? Adjusted TPS, WAY OFF!!. Best adjustment I could get was 1.06 at idle throttle position, 3.96 at WOT. A hair under allowable specs. Oh well. Put things back together, start car. Bouncy idle, 1500-16/1700. ??? Tired to adjust idle with BAC screw, and nothing happened? Get back in the car, give it gas, and the pedal is REAL stiff. What the hell is going on????

stiff throttle
Sounds like you somehow managed to get the trottle cable off its track. Check the pulley in the rear where the throttle cable attaches. You will probably find the cable is half off. This makes the mechanical advantage much less and creates the stiff pedal. Been there, done that.

My TPS is out of allowable spec, but could it cause a "bouncy" idle? Im looking for a new one. Ive heard they are the same on 86-88 all models.
