Did you guys take the TPS and check the resistance on it yet? All the TPS is, is a potentiometer.

The rpm guage goes to ZERO and comes right back. It did this about 4-5 times before it stopped. This has happened on about 3-4 occasions since the iginition wire problem was fixed.

I'm not sure if that model/year has a VSS, but if it does that could definately do some whacky shiat to the car. Best thing about your TPS is that it's interchangeable with many years and it's one of those Cophers parts you can fit in your pocket May just try snagging another one, I still haven't had a reply as to whether you guys tested the TPS yet or not ?

Did you guys unplug the TPS and see if there's still 5 volts at all the wires?

I THINK *crosses fingers* that we fixed my problem! I borrowed Donnie's (Exhaust Etc) A9L and put it in my car today. Typically I've had problems on a daily basis as of late and on my way to work, with the car doing the above and even just shutting off at idle. Well since I put the Donnie's A9L in, I have noticed NO problems, it drove great and idled great on my 30 mile trip to work! If this stands true, all I have to do is get a couple of O2 sensors and she should be running beautifully!
