Angry Whats Goin' On!?

Alright, This is really pissing me off!

I've got a problem with my cars responce to the gas pedal. It seems when ever I stomp my gas I have about a half second delay before the power kicks in, even if the motors warm. This never used to happen, My car used to have an almost immediate responce to the gas. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Time for a tune up...New filter (oil, and air), plugs, all that good stuff.. Probably should check the TPS for setting and just generally go through it. You may be suprised at what you find.

Ahhh, thanx man I'll give that a try. O and i'm sorry I'm going to sound incredibly stupid for asking this, but what does TPS stand for?

Here is the link to the adjustment...The same setup can be used to check for error codes on your car. This can tell you if a sensor failed...
