I've noticed that my car makes the most power at 1/3 throttle. Any farther and it just bogs and makes even less power. Anyone know what that's all about? What's going on?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I'd suspect a fuel supply problem, maybe a clogged fuel filter, or maybe an intake screen clogged with rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
seems like a leaky mps would be be in full rich position and run better as the throttle went down. and the TPS is for "accelerator pump" type enrichment, and would still work if the throttle were held in constant position. but that's just my sense of it. i've been wrong plenty.
