Ok just when I think things are going great my CEL comes on, its a TPS code so to make a long story short I got a good TPS sensor and had my trusted shop replace it. Car is fine starts right up (now remember the car has been turned off for a while and is pretty much cold). I start driving and it does fine until the motor warmed up to normal and whenever I come from driving to a full stop (like a stop light) the idle stubles WAY down to like 450-500rpm and then stalls, but only when its warmed up, if its cold or right after I start driving it, its fine. It will not start back up for a few seconds, it turns over and will kinda start to catch and then stuble and quit again. I took it back and checked the sensor, wiring, everything seems fine. I upped the idle a little bit too and that seemed to fix it for like a day and now its doing it again, but no CEL, can anyone help me??!? I need my car for work and I cant get around so I need to get this fixed in a hurry. I have no idea whats wrong because it would kind of stumble from time to time and then my gas mileage went to crap and then the TPS CEL came on so I thought that was the problem and now that its replaced and all wiring and sensors/install is good it got worse? Whats going on here?

 

sounds like they didn't calibrate the tps....

 

Im pretty sure its calibrated correctly they even tried re-doing it a second time

 

check it yourself to be sure.

 

not to sound lame, but how exactly would I go about doing that

 

bump

 

Anyone?! Ive got to get to work and I cant keep it running

 

ok last try guys, can anyone help me? I also changed the igniter and its somewhat better but the idle is still all over the place it dips to like 500rpm, goes up to like 900rpm, then to 500, then to 900, stops at 650 then dips, and so on, it keeps doing that pattern, whats the deal here?
