Unplug TPS car runs better!

Hi all,

My h22 accord has hesitation and sputtering issues. If i unplug the TPS the car runs like 80% better! I calibrated the TPS it didnt solve the problem.

Any ideas i would be grateful!

How fresh is the O2 sensor? By unplugging the TPS you're putting the system into open loop, bypassing the O2. Might be lazy and time for a new one.

Unplugging the tps will accomplish nothing in terms of testing or diagnosing the issues.

Check for codes first.

Without any information given, it's impossible to give any real advice.

I never replaced the o2. I am not getting any codes.
