Well for starters my car threw a great "CEL" at me last night on my way home. I took it to a local garage earlier today and $100 later the guy tells me the codes it is throwing are #120 (TPS Switch A Circuit Malfunction), and #442 (Small EVAP Leak). The second one we ruled out was just my gas cap wasn't on tight enough or so what he told me. But anyways the Price was ridiculous that was just to start my anger. 2nd he told me a new sensor would have to be ordered and it would run me $400. So being the smart individual I am I got a new "used" sensor from a local junkyard. My questions are as follows..... 1. Every now and then when I would be on the gas partially it would feel like it was running out of gas and then all of a sudden just be normal. As soon as the problem would start it would go away. I used to notice it going up large hills but now that doesn't happen anymore now it just happens everywhere but not all the time. It won't happen for weeks and then all of a sudden it starts doing it again. I have known about this TPS sensor for almost ten months my buddy said his car was the same way and that fixed it. I did a boost leak test and the clutch is fairly new that is ruled out. Does that sound like just a TPS to any of you. Sorry for the length just wanted to make sure you had enough details.
