Ok Its came to my attention a lot of people have this problem and dont know what to do how how to fix it... I dont know if someones made a fix post but if not here it is..

If you are experiancing a stutter when slightly accelerating but kicks out with more peddle pressure it might be your TPS wiring.

Fix:

3 wires run to the TPS sensor, on my motor it was green, red and yellow.
green is ground
red and yellow are voltage wires, (one being constant 5v, and the other sending information back to the ECU depending on throttle position)
My plug/harness had NO SLACK in it, i had to take my intake off for easier access to it, that was the hardest part about this whole thing dealing with no slack...
I cut my harness right before the plug, swapped the RED and YELLOW wires and connected it all back together then plugged her in.

And like that... ITS GONE!!!!!!! After a year now of false diagnosis from mechanics to 'i know it alls' ... finally its solved and my car is running great!!


and all i have to thank are you guys at HT cause i dont know who but someone helped me with this. any questions feel free i might have left something out

I know on the ones I've done I was able to remove the pins and reinsert them in the correct order. Just takes a paperclip or pick and a little time. Something to consider for everyone else doing this.

that would be the best way but its ok

 

i might have to try that. im getting code 7 for tps and i dont know what it could be. car runs great, idles at about 800-900, doesnt bog down, no studdering at all, just getting the code for some reason.

 

i just did it the other day, and it runs quite a bit better now. acceleration/deceleration seems more fluid now.
