Default Throttle position sensor

Well ive come to the point where i have to change my TPS and i dont know which it is off the top of my head without taking it appart, But this is what the car does, some times it will start and idle fine, and other times it will try to start and not idle, but when i start it with thte gas petal down a little it will start but not idle for a few, (makes hard for driving an automatic) and other times it will just fire right up. I just want to make sure before i actually purchace it for 75 bux.

IS it the first one or the second one? Left or righty?

Left - TPS
Right - IAC

I have no clue, but I bet if you bought it and looked for the one that looks like the one you bought, that would be the one, lol

Your problems are more indicative of an IAC problem unless you have traced it down to bad TPS signal. But if you do not know which one it is then you probably have not done so. If you want to get it done all at once I would recommend the IAC as well.

Idle Air Control sensor!!

Remember it physically controls air intake at idle! Not just a sensor!
