OK, let me try ot explain this as best I can. I noticed this yesterday on two separate occasions. Both instances I just happen to be turning left at lights..so from a dead stop turning left I kinda punch it and the throttle just seemed to open up close open up close open up...almost like issues I've experience with TPS on an old suv when idling where it would rev but only when accelrating from a stop. I'm going to test more to see if it's just hard accelerations from a stop or hard accelrations in general. I about did while freeway driving to work this morning but the traffic was heavy and wanted to get to work in one piece.

Anyone have input on this?

Thanks!

TPS? It's still doing this. Only from dead stops (where sometimes while stopping the idle will dip down to almost a stall. But more annoyingly when going from a stop and giving it a little extra gas, it will pretend to stall (jerk the car back and forth a few times) and behave fine after I let up or in regular driving.

 

I'm blind....hose was half-off due to a mid-winter throttle body removal and cleaning. The warm months must of done enough to loosen her off. Duh......

 

A lot of things are blamed on the TPS. And I have also blamed stalling on that thing. But a test I did that makes me question that thought. When idling I reached down and disconnected the TPS and all it did was start idling a little faster. And you an drive the car without the TPS. Go figure.
