thanks for that link,I just now got to doing it in my school auto class but have not gotten to see if it works yet.just a few more hours to see.

 

Damn California trucks I say gut the egress and lose the Toshiba life is so much simpler

 

No problem. Let us know how it turns out.

 

Yep that did the trick!Pushed the throttle and it actually moved!I just went to the gas station and checked my fuel mileage.about 15.78mpg city...not bad but lets see if cleaning the tps increases it.thanks again for ur help.

 

Nice. Glad it worked out for you.

 

I didnt realize the mechanical trucks had a TPS? Do they all have them more specifically does my 97 have one?

 

I'm thinking it's just emissions trucks from california would have that stuff, not 100% sure though
