#77405, "i am stumped"


          

ok heres the deal, i dont know if my TPS is going bad, but here is what is happening. Every now and then my TPS reading is 0.0%, (all this is according to my S-AFC) but usually it reads about .1%-.9%, now i thought it was supposed to read .1%-.9% all the time when at idle, but it is reading 0.0% more and more often, could this be a symptom of it going bad? Now when i hit the throttle it reads normally in either one of the two above mentioned situations, Consequently i am having a problem with the car all of the sudden dieing when going down the road, could a bad TPS relate to this problem?(maybe by losing signal?)
I have replaced almost all the sensors, except the TPS and MAP, but the S-AFC reads that the manifold pressure flucates normally and it reads 450-480 mmHg at idle with nothing on, so the MAP i am assuming is good, so that leaves the TPS sensor, and I am not so sure about that one. TIA for any help!!!!

are you turning the key?

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.
