Is it a problem?????

[Corby]

Okay, I don't have to work tonight so that would be good.... It would probably have to be after I do all the plugs wires etc. What time is good for you??

anytime after 4. I will be doing a front 60k then so I will be in the garage all night. With another SHO guy. I will Try to remember to bring the master tech home.

will a 3.2 tps sensor work on a 3.0? im assuming so...and also my car dont surge when the seconders open up. is the same with your car?

 

[Corby]

No... it hasn't, it doesn't do it that much but it is still very annoying when it happens.

 

[AREA 91]

I believe the TPS is the same for all 89-95 SHO's. 3.0 or 3.2

 

[Corby]

What exactly is TPS anyways?

 

[CerberuS]

Throttle position sensor , right next to the throttle plate. Indicates the computer where is the pedal exacly (how wide its open) in %

When my car also seems to smooth out once the secondaries open. The problem doesn't completely go away but it's not nearly as rough.

i replaced my tps and it still does it im about to give up on this problem ..alls i can think of is a vacumm leak but im doubting that

I think I may have found the problem in an earlier post hopefully it's the FPR. read the post below.

Yes this does sound similiar to mine but, my car will do it when it is cold and hot. Mine does not sound as severe as his (only does it occasionaly like once every 3 days or something) sometimes it hard to notice, sometimes it is obvious. One big thing though is that after I shut it off I never have any problems starting it back up..... hopefully it will be fixed by thursday though because I should have all the valve cover gasket then and will be replacing that and plugs and wires. I'll keep you guys updated tho..... any other info is appreciated.

ok so i got my fuel presser tested today and it was 18 psi ideling and the most it got up to was around 28 druring driveing it. im not sure what the spec. is on the psi. but it seems kinda low. and then driving to lunch my cel finnaly turned on went to autozone and pulled the codes they are as fallowing 11,11,141,49,41,49 a girl was doing it so im not sure if they are right ..i have notied a drop in gas mileage so now im think it is the MAF..

 

[sho_me92]

i just got done playing around with it and it dont seem to do it if i unplug the MAF and the air temp sensor. but i also swaped the MAF with another one and it still did it. im starting to dislike my car

Valve cover gaskets, plugs and wires.... finished. Now my car is running great! Thanks for all of the help guys.
