Hey mudders,
Having what I believe is a throttle position sensor issue, but I’m not sure...
Here’s what’s going on:
My car started and was running fine per usual, then I hopped on the interstate and floored it hard until I reached about 85mph. I turned off of the interstate and floored it again, and my RPMs dropped immediately almost like I turned off my car. I backed off the pedal and my RPMs went back up. I floored it again and it cut out again.
Then I drove normally and all was fine unless I floored it. I stopped at the store and when I came out, it wouldn’t start. It cranks but won’t turn over. I sprayed some starter fluid in and had my friend crank the starter until it turned over and it ran fine from there. While in park, I floored it and it revved up for a second and then cut out and the engine died. I tried starting and it wouldn’t turn over again so I sprayed starter fluid in again until it turned over, then I drove it home just fine.
Basically, I can’t start it without fluid and the engine cuts out when I put the pedal to the floor.
If I push the pedal down lightly in park, I can get the RPMs to redline but if I push the pedal down too far, the engine cuts out.
Is it my TPS sensor? I adjusted the sensor placement both ways to no avail.
Other things, I keep getting EGR insufficient flow errors but no symptoms.
