You recently put a new computer...which ECU were you running and what did you replace it with? The Skunk2 t/b likely has no part in this issue as it is mechanical.

Unless all things are stock, one cannot simply put a different computer in. I've read your other posts. You need to relax and get all of your information together. Is the ecu chipped? Is there a cel? What type of ecu are you using. Which software. So many questions.

sorry i really dont know all these questions the Tech is the one who put it all together. He got fed up with the car and how long it was taking so he told me to take it to somebody else. so I only know basic information about the car.

In this case, put back the previous ECU that you were using. Hopefully you still have it.

You need to get it tuned. If you feel adventurous, I would pick up a Ostrich 2 and a hulog with crome. Swap the chip for the ostrich open up crome and you will have the ability to fix this problem yourself. But you need to rule out all mechanical possibilities before you go this route.

The OP doesn't know what ECU he was running and probably doesn't know what chip is in his current P28...should have went with a PR3 or P30 ECU with use of a jumper harness if needed. Issue will at least be isolated to something mechanical.

I figured it out. The contact points on the TPS weren't on right I just lined up the screw points.
