So came out of the shop today from getting an oil leak checked, i bumped the curb and went over it, granted i have offroad suspension, so i didnt really think it would matter, it was an accident. Anyway went to make a u turn and while accelerating it literally just died right there in the middle of an intersection. Turned back on fine and went to go and the power cut out as i was accelerating and then a gassed it again and i was off. Periodically did this as i went home but never stalled. Then i went up my hill, and it crapped itself and kept loosing power and regaining, almost like stop and go a few times then it was good. Finally made it up my hill and pulled in my driveway and put it in park and it "literally" just died like it keeled over at the end of a marathon. Started it up a few times and it continued to die right as it turned over. Did it again, and gave it some gas and it stayed on fine and now im here. I don't have any clue wtf its doing.

 

Have you opened the hood and looked for anything that may have come loose?

 

oh and it doesnt seem to do it when i floor the crap out of it just a slow accelerate

 

ill give that a look, seems like a fair assessment. Do you think maybe its misfiring?

 

Ya nothing seems to be loose at all. im stumped

 

researching online seems it might be a bad tps or iac, there both stock and cheap so i might just throw new ones in and see if shes fine again. Beforehand i might try reinserting the harnesses into the current parts.

 

I would check the TPS. The problems your having could be caused by a bad TPS.

 

thanks man, i think that is suspect at this point. really strange behavior from a really healthly motor. guess it finally went when i hit the curb

 

sounds like a similar prob i was having. Replaced my TPS, but it was like $500 plus, wondering if i got ripped off. The issue was solved so it was worth it.

 

$500 to replace a TPS? Yes, you got ripped off. Lol
