Default I think i'm throwing a cell * HELP*

Ok i just finished doing my y8 intake swapped and i test drove my car last night. It pulls hard at first gear but when i shift to 2nd the engine stutter. The rpm kind like bounce. Well i did CEL test today and here is what i got.

Ok, i took the carpet out, just enough to see the eye of the computer. I put my key on 2nd ignition and it start blinking. First, when i turned it on it flash very quick, then it follows, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.. It stop for 2 second and it blink 7 times again. What do you guys think is my problem? I'm guessing TPS sensor.

Also, when i first start the car is idles really low and it will increase a lil, but if i shut it down and start it again it will idle super low and it will cut off. It sounds like a freakin muscle car

I need help guys!

It will always blink while the CEL is on during startup but it does sound like you are throwing a code seven which is the TPS sensor like you said. Make sure you didn't break it while doing the intake swap and also make sure you plugged it back in too.

So it still blink even you don't have a prob, while running that is? This is my first time doing this check so bare with me lol..
So the one i posted above are usually the symptoms of a bad TPS sensor? Also, when i WOT the car and stop it will die, but usually when it runs for like 20 min it will be fine.

The TPS is not bad necessarily. I could and most likely is out of voltage spec. It should read .45V when the throttle is closed and 5V when its open to 100%.

I forget wich wires you test though....
