So I went to go to the store right quick to get some milk... on the way there the car acts like all fuel to it got cut for just a second... did that like 2 times, pull off thinking its some kind of vacuum leak... check for it and came up with nothing. Start it back up and it seems to be just fine, so I go to my destination, buy my milk then come out start the car up and the "check engine" light starts flickering sporaticly, so i think to myself "sexy... oh well lets just baby it home" but it wont do anything but idle right. The second I give it some gas it just acts like the fuel system cuts out or something like that with the check engine light just flickering... so call AAA and wait 2 hours and get it towed home. Going to check to see what code the ecu is throwing tomarrow morning... *sigh*

 

that sucks. hopefully it's the tps. sounds like it might have fried...

 

Man that sucks , At least you got it home.

I was thinking something like the TPS or AFM, i just hope its the AFM since I have another one of those

 

hmmm that does sound weird! let us know what code it throws!

 

Code 18 - Throttle Postion Sensor (narrowband) Full Open
My TPS connector wasn't seated and "clicked" in properly so after driving it just came loose haha

 

ooops

 

cheap fix!!!! yessss

 

gotta love the cheap fix! Glad to hear that it is up and running again.

 

yeah at least towing was free!!

 

Yeah AAA FTW!
It still kinda bucks a little bit, maybe its just me being paranoid and feeling the road, but now it just feels like a missed spark every once and a while so going to check grounds/clean the spark plugs maybe buy new ones and wires.

 

dang, 2 hour wait for a 10min fix. Glad to hear its good
