Throttle sticking/hanging

**foxman92** · 08-08-2009, 09:32 PM

the tps is the bottom sensor on the drivers side of throttle body, also you might check and see if the bolts holding it on are loose.. also hex bolts..

screw me sideways, the IAC has a hex bolt loose and its stripped out. Funny thing is the sensor its self is not loose.??

funny thing is my car will idle up to 2000, and sit there until i make a complete stop.. ive changed all sensor's, and no good.. so now im just going to have the car tuned, and have them fix it with the tune..

yes my car has the stick, but its only every once in awhile.. and the IAC helped it out alot.. but im leaning towards changing the tps as well..

hello foxman92, I just put in the new IAC and now my car is running fine thanks for your HELP!!!!

Had battery checked was only 43% charged so i charged it over night. Had alt tested off the car and on the car passed both. when car is idling holds 13.8 volts. So I take it out for a drive after testing all and charging battery. Car runs good and volts hold at 13-14ish while driving, once I come to a stop they only differ when the car is running funny looking for an idle(grrrr) but once at idle all is good. The car was tuned last summer and seems to be having a hard time catching its idle, seems to search for it then finds it. if that makes sense in the tune?? or would the iac or tps have todo with that?

Could be the IAC or TPS. Once you replace the IAC you have to drive around for a couple of mins at around 35-40mph for the IAC to relearn. Have you tried disconnecting the TPS while the car is running? If you disconnect the TPS while the car is running, the car will surge and you will get an SES light.

**SpinsB** · 08-11-2009, 06:17 PM

So If i unplug and it does surge then its bad? o if it surges and throws ses light its working? that what you mean, not being smart just making sure I understand good place to get both tps and iac
