Default Stage 1 Bad ?

I recently had a thread about my TPS going bad. To refresh: I had a P0122 error. I actually had that replaced once already. Well anyway i took it to the dealer and they are saying everything on the sensor looks good and my pcm could of went bad and they are ordering me another one. My car was having High rpm when i was pushing in on the clutch but it was only doing it sometimes. And my check engine light would go on and off. But right now for the past two days its doing it all the time. I just want to know if anyone has had this problem or not. I can't believe the pcm went bad. Its only been in my car for 2200 miles. I just don't see why they didn't try another TPS.

Dolem20, The stage 1 that you got in two weeks from modern performance, is that the one that you talking about in this post. If so what the news with that anyways. My TPS was screwy too, only b/c the wires running to it were so short that when there was any kind of torque the wires would pull out and become loose. My ground wire came loose and that cause the same problems you are haveing. Check to see if the wires running to the TPS are bent in the completely oposite direction of the way they are going into the TPS. The wires should come out of the tps straight and slowly make a bend back to where the wire runs back. Check that out and let me know.

Silverrt4, I know when the dealer fixed the tps the first time they made the ground wire longer. I checked the ground when i got off work and my wire had a lot of bends in it i don't know why. I made it as straight as possible and when i took the car out it stop reving when i push in the clutch. I'm going to see how long this works for. If this was the problem why couldn't the tech figure it out? What did you want to know about the stage 1 i got from modernperformance? Thanks for the help i hope this takes care of everything.

I read of one case where the wire looked good on the outside but had separated inside the sheathing, so it was making intermittent contact despite looking OK.
