tps tps tps ???
 

hi guys, i havent posted on the forum for ages and now i have no choice but to ask for your help. ive been having the same problem witht the car for a while now and every time i take it back to the garage they do the same thing. the car drives fine, but then when i back off from the throttle and the revs slowly drop, when it its abour 2k its starts to jerk and shudder till about 1.2 revs then its smooth again.
ive told the guys at the garage about this and they keep telling me its the tps, they re adjust it and the drives fine for like a day, then it happens all over again. now ive also noticed that the car has 'dead spots' or like everyone else says, it hesitates just before the 3k mark. it feels like when the fuel cut comes in, but after like half a second it drives normally again. the car also smells like its running a little rich, but the boys at the garage keeps telling me shes not. today i looked under the muffler and found a hole about 1 or 2 mills across, was just wandering could this be the source of my problems ? she also smokes quite at bit at start up, but when shes warmed up shes fine. please help

thanks guys
