Default TPS

It sounds like your TPS is going out. I have a brand new for sale ($100.00) due to switching over to the POTS. My problem was the little plastic piece that is in between the TPS and the pump was worn and would cause the TPS to go out of adjustment. The POTS works great but if you don't want to do it and just replace the TPS contact me. jeffdavies500@gmail.com

Default many thanks

Thank y'all very much for help with my truck. cause when i was heading into work this morning it totally feel on its face 55 was the top speed with no overdrive so i shut her down and limped her back towards the house .started calling around for new tps and no such luck two day special order and over 300 dollars and i was making all these calls at dark thirty then it dawned on me to check my email. Y'all don't know how much of a life saver y'all were .I went into radio shack and got everything plus an extra one to keep in truck for spare for under thirty bucks. Well if y'all happen to wonder down around my neck of the woods give a hollar and ill grill some steaks and ice some beer down. thanks again
