Throttlebody position sensor - 3/13/2008 6:38:52 AM    Scubba.steve Posts: 175 Joined: 1/14/2008 Status: offline 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?

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. _____________________________ 140 HP @ 6000 Rpm 133 (lb-ft) Torque @ 4800 Rpm Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall, torque is how much of the wall you take with you (in reply to Sebba) Post #: 5
