Smile fixed first problem on to the second

Well the first prob I had was the ignition module...DONE...now I have another. When I get the car started it idles fine, but when I put it in gear it sputters and shuts down. I sit for about 30 seconds, crank it up and it runs fine until I shut it down...Then it is the same procedure over again. WTF??? I am thinking it is the throttle position sensor(being that when I am cruising, I can take my foot off the gas it it SLOWLY starts to decrease speed). What do you think???

Thanks for all the help in the past and for all the help I will get in the future.

Sounds more like the Idle air Control that is what would keep the car going when you put it in gear and would also slow down the revs

Thumbs up

I am thinking you might be correct....I tested my TPS and it was slightly off. I realigned it and it still does the same thing. I am going to pull the IAC and try to clean it(done this before and the thing was filthy)...Do you think (if it has carbon build up on the spring) would cause this???

Thanks again
