Default tps or map sensor bad, could it cause car to be slower?

i have a fully built d16z6 with a turbonetics t3/t4 turbo. when i first installed the turbo, the car was fast and had alot of torque. then one day all of a sudden the car gives a loopy idle and sometimes throw a random cel out of nowhere. so i just turn the car off and turn it back on it goes away. but after i had that lumpy idle, the car runs alot slower then it had before? anyone have any thoughts on this opinion? could it be a tps or map sensor problem i had a code 7 but i reset the ecu and it went away.. as for now. anyone got a clue?

when i unplug my map sensor, my car just died completely right after, and then i tried unplugging my tps sensor and it really gave a sluggish idle. like it was dead for a sec, and then came back to life again. over and over again. is it ok for my map and tps sensor to do this?

Default

its ur TPS sensor. check and be sure the wiring is good. or your sensor could be failing.

what kind of EMS are you running. is your setup fully tuned or street tuned?
