Ok I put on my new tps sensor. But I am still getting the hesitate in my car. When I rev engine the rpm's will start jumping up and down when I get to high rpm's. Now my dad said something about adjusting it right, any idea's to what that means??? I luped the o-ring and let it dry then put it on and still having problem.

The TPS is not adjustable.

Any idea's to what else it could be?? cause if the tps was not the problem I am going to take it back. I felt no difference on the new tps

Are you bouncing off the rev limiter? =P

More seriously (i hope that wasnt your problem). You said you have a hesitate, are you driving a MTX or ATX? Define "high rpms" like give us a range. Do you have any CEL's? Did this problem happen after a certain incident/mod?

It happens sometimes when I drive. But when I am just sitting in parking lot and rev the car, When I get to more then 3k the thermometer on the guage will like shake and the exhaust will backfire as well. An it happens for like a blink of a second then back to normal as I am still revving but the higher i rev the more it happens but only does it for less then a second. Get what im saying or should i make video??

Your thermometer shakes? Yeah.. A video would be helpful.

Haha k I don't know what the name of the little speed stick is i am below average in cars im trying

Sounds electrical. Yeah, a vid would be nice. You might want to try doing the reving at night with the hood open. Rev the engine using the cable on the throttle body while you watch for sparks in the engine bay (or have somebody rev for you).

Yeah, I agree with Mark. It does look like it's electrical. Now that I think about it I have an older non-dsm vehicle that was doing something similar to yours. Every time I would get up to highway speed the car would jerk and backfire. Later it got worse to just 20 mph. After diagnosing it I found that I had a faulty distributor.

Your problem may be something in your ignition that's failing, which could be your ignition wires, spark plugs, ignition coil, or just a faulty ground wire some place.

After checking under your hood with the engine running in the dark, let us know what you find.

Ok I will tonight, I just replaced the coil with msd and msd plugs with ngk spark plugs. So i will see what i find tonight and get back to yall thanks for the answers

You might want to double check your plug wire and make sure you don't have a plug wire only have way on. Also check the wires that go to your coil and make sure the wire hasn't started to crackout or anything.

Thing is it isnt my coil because it was doing it before my coil, I thought replacing the coil would fix it but it didnt so I know its not the coil.
