jerky hesitation. . .help!
ok, my car will run smooth 4 a bit until it warms up. But in 1st and 2nd gear every slight touch on the gas will make the car jerk or hesitate violently, especially around 3k. If I barely touch the gas she'll spudder down, but if I feed it more RPMs she fine? could the problem be vacuum leaks or in the throttle body or what?

I bet that your fuel filter (intank and inline) are clogged, thus probably clogging your injector screens... My 88 Vert did the same thing, i ended up having to clean the screens on the injectors and drain the fuel tank to remove all the debris.

I had a similiar problem crop up and went through this. The band-aid only lasted for two days or so, but it was enough to get me here and net me 22.77 MPG on the Highway, which is alot higher than what I was normally getting. This will only work if it IS the TPS.

pull out the FSM, get your trusty volt meter, follow instructions. Pretty simple. I am not hardcore enough to remember it off the top of my head though. The search feature might help you.
number one rule: car has to be warmed up to operating temperature. The problem I ran across was that I was slow. The car cooled down while I was testing mine so it wouldn't be within specs when I was finished. A friend might be helpful too.

Haha, yeah. Also I recommend an analog Multimeter. It provides finding the dead spots that much easier (for some reason all the digitals I used went nuts when I slowly moved it through the range).

I'm curious though... why isn't there more aftermarket TPS products? I'm surprised that no one is producing them since a brand new one cost $200, where I'm sure you could just pick up a spring, a variable resistor and put it together for under $25. Sell 'em for $50 and you make 100% profit and you under cut the OEM by 1/4.

That's what I'm trying to avoid, buying a $200 dollar replacement, by seeing if this one's within specs. . .which I'm getting ready to test now, but I'm not to sure on how to adjust it. . .that's my problem.
