what does the TPS act like when it is going out??
I still am chasing a bad hesitation/ miss and lack of pwer until 2700. By the way the car acts it seems like an elect. issue. |

Mine started to skip at a STEADY 2000rpm replaced the tps no help.Replaced the plugs,wires,dist.cap,points and condenser presto no more skipping. Take the tps apart and see if there is bad scoring on the contact arc if there is that could be the problem. |

TPS is a possibility. So are a lot of other things.
My experience (others will disagree with me) is that you should drop the stock FI now, and invest money into an aftermarket FI system like MegaSquirt. |

Did you see the memo? You need to fill out a TPS report. |

To help you move in the MS direction....I'm going to give an older MS that was given to me. KenH was going to use it but I guess he's going to use carbs or a different aftermarket FI. I pass by LLNL everyday on my work...we can meet up for a coffee in the morning or later on in the day....lemme know.... |
