Can a Bad TPS Do This?

[havok735]

I know I have a bad TPS and can't fix it till this weekend, but can it cause your car to studder a little when just cruising?

Anyone have any experiance with what things it could cause a car to do?

the stuttering at crusing speeds is your egr valve, its probally blocked and needs to be cleaned, its not hard to take it off and clean it if you have the right tools

yes it can cause some light stuttering if the connection sucks causing spikes in the signal the ECU sees. Clean up the connection, replace a lost retainer clip, or get a new sensor.

Just as an update. I removed the TPS and checked it to make sure it was good. It was so I put it back on and aligned it properly and now the problem is gone. I am guessing that it was just not aligned right and giving junky readings because of it.
