My car was finally comming out of the mechanic. Just when we were going to pick it up, the engine is having compression problems. We're taking it to a machine shop this week to see if they can fix this. I'll let you guys know how it went.
 
Sometimes it's one thing after another with a dsm isn't itLOL I'm taking mine in tomorrow for low oil pressure. Hope everything turns out ok.
 
Well this is the situation. I got a code for tps. I replaced the tps. Well my car did drive better. It stopped backfiring on decel like those damn SRT-4's. Freakin things are like Dodges' version of the Honda Civic. Point. I found out that that little switch on the throttle body, called the throttle closed switch or whatever, is bad. My question. Will that little freakin thing, that by the way costs $115.00 new from Mitsu., cause other drivability problems? I have a translator 2.0-evo III 16g turbo and manifold-780cc pte inj.-stock side mount running 2 20 psi.-3"turbo back-2100 lb ACT.-turbo xs rfl bov. I dont have any vaccum leaks or any of that. It just seems to sometimes still be adjusting fuel and timing or one or the other as I get on the power. I know their are no issues with Translator. When I replaced the tps it got a lot better. But still seems to have the same problem just at way lower scale.
