Car wants to die on light throttle taps.
As title states, the car will die if I tap on the throttle. I dont mean like blipping the throttle, I mean the tiniest little pitter patter of touches. I dont think its even enough to actually move the pedal, maybe just add slight tension to the throttle cable. I used my Power FC to look at TPS voltage and everything looked to be within spec. I had a 92 civic 12 years ago that would do the same thing, but ended up being a bad TPS. Havent found any vacuum leaks, no bucking or hesitation while driving the car, or any other symptoms. Also, problem exists on stock ECU and Power FC. I installed my Power FC today just to see TPS voltages. (Followed idle adjustment and learning period per Dale Clarks Power FC FAQ)
