WD-40 killed my TPS!
My throttle started sticking last night so i sprayed the butterfly asles with wd-40. I got some on the tps and now the car runs terrible at part throttle and stumbles a bit at WOT. Cruising in 5th it jerks all over, in 1st its so violent the back wheels slide in the rain. Also when i rev it in neutral to say... 2.5k it randomly bounces around between like 1.5 - 3.5k rpm. Time for another tps for me!

try to clean the wd-40 with brake cleaner. Maybe use a touch of electric contact cleaner after done with brake cleaner.

Be careful with the brake cleaner, it may eat plastic. I would just use the electrical parts cleaner.
