Thanks guys- waiting on a new Ktuned TPS sensor- hopefully that solves the idle issue.... Then its time for a retune

What issue are you having with idle?

It bounces between 2k and 1k rpm. When i try to slowly bring the rpm up the motor blips then stumbles then goes back to bouncing. The issue started when i had to replace the battery about 2 months ago- i thought it was an idle relearn but i cant keep the rpm above 3k consistently.

Sounds like the tps like you thought. I had a wire lose connection on mine once. Had to run a new wire and it was fixed. So I'd also check power at both ends to make sure they are conductive.

I have a TPS reading in kpro when the key is on. Once the car is running i have very little throttle control though. i think all these years with solid mounts has finally killed my stock TPS sensor. Since it was doing this before i tore the car apart- and i cleaned the IACV while i had the throttle body off- i am kinda ruling out vacuum leaks and the idle controls.

Tuning apt made for march 22 at IMW on 93 and e85. Should have my new Ktuned TPS sensor by the end of this week to hopefully get the car out on the road for a shakedown before the long ride to the tuner- dyno numbers to follow.

Awesome man. You made quick work of that. Good luck with the dyno apt.
