Still my car is running wierd i can start it but if i try rev it it barely revs and if i let off gas it dies unless it warms up from me trying to rev for a while. today i just tryedt o start it to see how it acted and same thing but was popping pretty loud. i found something under the hood that i didnt see before just sittting there. just wondering wut it is. and maybe if anyone knws the problem. Ill take pics of engine after superbowl for people to see. heres the part i found and im not sure if its needed

 

That my friend is your Throttle Position Sensor. AKA the TPS. You will be needing it, as your car is now acting like *** because it isnt even on the car....btw, where did you find that and was it even hooked to anything?

 

roflma thats whats crazy i had been driving car it was actign fine then it went crazy on me....i was wondering why so i parked car at home then aftyer 2 days went to drive again and it acted WAY worse and i was like....wtf so ya then my hood wasnt closed all way on right side so i open and thats just sittin there.....i dont know how it came off or where it goes....thx alot bro ill take some more pics after sb as i said

 

well just to let you know, it goes on teh uim, there should be a place for it that has a bunch of linkage that looks like it needs a brother to hit up, should go to teh lower left of all the linkage on the front of teh uim, that is if you are facing it from teh front of the car.

If you search youll find a million threads on what that lil ****** can cause to go wrong.

Edit: Btw if that thing was just laying on the engine, then id be looking for a pair of screws and some sabotage....just my $.02

 

hmm well i have 3 rx7 books so i read and found where it goes undid the intercooler went to put it on and to my luck theres alreeady one on there.......

 

well thats odd as ****....you think someone you know decided to give you a spare?

 

lol i just got car month ago im thinkin the old one doesnt work i just connected it and tryed to start it up and nothing and my rotary mechanic said it was my tps when i brang it in but im broke so i couldnt get him to fix it. so im thinkin both r bad. i really needa just tune the car up i think but im jobless atm....hella sux wish i could ffind someone with a extra tps thing

 

Jobless and with a FC....I wish you the best of luck man.

 

lol they laid me off the day after i got my fc... i was pissed....thats why i put my car on craigslist. but anyways....ya i just want it to run if i could only find someone with a extra TPS! >< anyways thx for all the help and it sucks cause i wish i could drive it.....but if i can just get 50 dollars i can get a new TPS and have it installed or whatver ; ;

 

You could unplug the tps and it would still crank and run --Talk about major backfires though

hmm well i found out ben my mechanic for car had put his extra one under my hood he says mine is bad.. but now i tryed to start my car with his put on and it wouldnt even crank....not sure but if i get new tps i think it be ok.....no clue though

 

yep, i accidentally left it under his hood while testing his TPS. i'm fairly sure it has developed another issue since i checked out the TPS though from the sound of it.
