So far, I have ordered a new TPS only to find out that I have the model with the TPS mounted directly to the throttle body. I've also disconnected and sprayed electrical contact cleaner on the connector for the pedal. My next move is to send back the TPS I don't need and see if I can take the cover off of the throttle body TPS and clean that up, assuming I can take off the cover (clips vs. rivets). Quick question there though, should I use the contact cleaner there or just a can of air to clean it?
Some additional info besides the symptoms already mentioned (limp home, etc...) The car has a rough/low idle (<1000rpm) after a min or two of warming up. Also, the accelerator, again only after a few min after startup, is unresponsive when pushing on it slightly. It actually loses rpm at one point before it starts to register that I'm pushing the gas pedal and start gaining rpms. Also, it starts very rough and will take 4 to 5 seconds of rolling over to fire the motor.
I'm not sure if those additional symptoms point in one direction over another, but I think, based on what I've learned so far from all of you, is that I either have a TPS on the throttle body problem, or a accelerator pedal sensor problem. Not sure what to focus on first.
Thanks in advance for your help/feedback.
