You really need to work on your grammar and spelling. People tend to ream people when they don't take the time to use punctuation, and spell correctly. If you want us to take our time to help you, you need to take the time to write out your thoughts. No aol speak, ellipses all the time, and so on.

Onto your problem.

If you don't have a Haynes/Chilton's manual, invest in one. Also get the dsm shop manuals on cd. They help tons. Learn to use the search function, you'd be surprised at what you find.

p0170 (sounds like 02 sensor. Read Up.)

umm.... no. it's a sensor as indicated by the name. it may just be out of adjustment. if it's bad, you have to replace it.

what do u mean by out of adjustment?

Throttle Position Sensor... I believe there is an adjuster cable right in front of the throttle body. Check on the 2G engine diagram where it shows everything in the tech articles. I'm not too sure where it is.

loosen the two 8mm bolts and rotate the sensor to adjust
