Stopped at a red light and tach dropped to 0, and engine died. Started right back up, but wouldn't idle. Made it back to my shop by keeping the rpms up when stopped. Runsu just fine, just won't idle. Unplugged the tps and it idles fine. Plug it back in, and engine dies. Haven't got to look at it yet, wondered if anyone else has experienced this and what the cause was. 40 years, and this is a first.

Sorry Ray, it was mostly a process of elimination. Wiring checked good, tps adjusted to 0 ohms. Using brad anders chart I checked ohms at #17 wire on the ecu plug. He called for under .5 ohms. After dismantling a tps and sanding the gold on the board, then hand polishing it with jewellers rouge, it ohmed at .2. No change. It just had to be the ecu. Since I already had the plug off, it was simple to check.
