I'm having problem with my tps and I've replaced it 6 time and keep getting dead spots or spikes. So my question is what brand name is best?
Thanks

 

6 times? Go to rockauto.com and buy any one from there

Yeah 6 time advance auto sucks
Ok thanks

 

Ok I looked at rockauto and I'm in between 2 options
Omni? Or dorman?

 

I prefer Dorman, just because I have never had an issue with their products. I have had friends use Omni though and never had issue. I know Dorman has a lifetime warranty. I would just go with them. The price difference is negligible.

 

Thanks

 

6 times? Sounds more like a TPS installation problem, or the TPS is not your problem.

 

Kinda what I was thinking.

 

It might be I'm gonna try one more and see what happens

I'm having problem with my car running lean at certain throttle positions and can't seem to figure it out. I've also had a few shops look at it and they can't figure it out either

Wish someone in Alabama could fix it for me

 

Stop throwing your money away. The chances are that all of your TPS have been fine. Get a multimeter and properly troubleshoot the three TPS wires. If they're fine, swap in a known good ECU.

 

I have checked all three wires all seem to be fine until I sweep the throttle then I get spikes or dead spots. I've also tried 3 different ecu's no difference

 

Any other suggestion?

 

have you checked the TPS outside the car? do they all give you the same issue then? check the wires for continuity and resistance while moving the harness around, you might have a break/short somewhere. finally, run new wires to the ECU from the TPS.

 

I don't get the same symptoms from each one
And not how do I check the tps out of the car?
And I will check the wires this weekend. It was on my plans anyways because I've been thinking it could be my harness

 

check continuity and resistance between the three connectors.

 

Ok will do
How do I check the tps out of the car?

 

 

As mentioned before, give it a test and it sounds like the TPS is the result of the problem not the cause.

Report back and be happy to help sort it.

 

Testing tomorrow will let you know something soon

 

Go to rockauto.com and buy any one from there

 

Ok I texted the wire from the tps to the ecu seems good didn't act like any breaks in it when I was moving around. I was testing ohms on the wire and would get around 5.5 ohms

Tested a few tps out of the car got same results on all of them. So I guess the all good

Is there anything else I can do. I need to get it fixed so I don't harm my motor with it running this lean

 

Sounds like you only continuity tested the wires. Now you need to short test them (= continuity to body ground).

 

Ok. How do I do that
I tested them this time from tps plug to ecu plug
