2G Faulty 4-wire Throttle Position Sensor?

[macna]

So, my symptoms are sputtering under acceleration, poor idle and the car almost dieing after a bleep-bleep kind of rev.

Horrible to drive, and my plugs are covered in carbon/sut leading to poor start/idle.

Car finally threw a CEL and reads as the TPS. Is this all related? Would all of this be fixed/caused by the TPS?

I found a good 4 wire from Ebay- $20 shipped. I did notice that my male-connector that is apart of the car's wiring harness has no fastener clip, so it just slides over the TPS connector and doesn't fasten. Maybe it's coming lose/undone?

*sigh*

Why are DSM's so maintenance hungry? They are Kim Kardashians... needing so much attention.

I also have similar symptoms. Hope you get it figured out.. maybe it will help me figure mine out..
