In Response to the Throttle Position Sensor, when removed while running, the RPMs automatically go to 2000, however the problem still occurs based on the heat level.

Also, it does "bog" down when the TPS is off, dunno if that's normal, I figured it was.

The old ones seemed fine, honestly the car runs the same with the new ones and the old ones, so they prolly are still in perfect condition, however they didn't look burnt or oil encrusted, used however.

I'm just worried that with my time running out if I spend more money on this it will be in vain and I'll end up carless which will lead to unemployment(72 miles one way to work in a car that's about to be taken back by my cause I've put 5000 miles on it (8 weeks of part-time work). This is besides the point.

I am trying to find someone to let me test an ECU just to see if that's the problem..only thing I've found is that this world is messed up to where no one trust anyone and they won't take money for letting me test it. (I've offered $20 plus coming and testing it, and letting them watch exactly what I do and offering to replace their ECU if I wreck their's [which I honestly figure and know I wont ]) (This is always kinda besides the point).


3050RPM I appreciate your help and your knowledge.
