Studdering Problems SOLVED

Weirdest thing, my car hesitated a little bit at 1500 rpm and 2200 rpm, and lately the gas pedal seemed like you had to push it to far to go anywhere.

So i was messin around at work and hooked up a scanner

and watched the percentage of throttle, with the pedal about a half inch to an inch down the scanner would read 1 percent.

i replaced it with a new tps and it solved all my problems.

the car actually feels like it has more power to. maybe it wasnt gettin 100 percent throttle.

Never under estimate the value of a scanner.

i never thought a tps would cause all those problems though, i guess it was just luck but my car feels so much better, smoother acceleration at all rpms too...

i guess im just suprised
