Throttlebody position sensor

  

Scubba.steve -> Throttlebody position sensor (3/13/2008 6:38:52 AM)

So.. i went to start my car this morning to leave from work...... Crank....crank...crank... wtf[:@] This is bs.. Poped the hood, for some reason i unplugged the throttlebody position sensor. Crank, Vroom!!. Pluged the sensor back in and she sputtered and acted like she wanted to die.. Gave her some gas and took off down the road.  When i went to get on the onramp on 75south she jerked and jerked acted like wasnt getting the right fuel or air mixture.... died...... Fired right back up. My question is..... It seems obvious to me bad sensor.... but... could it be the throttlebody itself? Whats your opinions? Thanks guys

could be a bad sensor, i say just replace it they can't be that much money... plus how are your plugs and wires?

Scubba.steve -> RE: Throttlebody position sensor (3/13/2008 2:42:33 PM)

Plugs are less than 2 months old, new wires as well..... The sensor is $70.00, i planned on replacing my balljoint and control arm this check.... Gonna leave me $hit broke, but at least i will be able to drive my car

I took the throttlebody off and installed a new senor already sebba. She is doing fine now.... Just wish i bought some carb cleaner and cleaned off the carbon build up on the butterfly while i had it off.
