Won't Start

i see what you are saying, my car does have sluggish acceleration, I attributed that to the uncalibrated TPS and knock sensor wiring being faulty. After doing the work on both of these parts the codes didnt resurface.

I am w/in the resistance according to the TRSM for my TPS so i imagin it still works... however that was the first time i had ever solderd ( for the knock sensor rewire) and the only time i had ever used a multimeter ( to check the resistances on the TPS to recalibrate)

I read somewhere that the timing was based off the TPS not sure where. Perhaps it isnt not really sure, what you are saying makes alot of sense.

If i get home after work and pull off the wiring to the sensor and it starts up fine... does that mean faulty TPS?

My thoughts are New TPS 150$, Checking the timing 50$. lol so hope its the timing
