My car recently started getting bad gas milage. I checked the oil and there is the smell of gas. On top of that when I get my rpms up to about 6000 in first and then shift into 2nd,at about 3500 rpm's the car starts jerking like I am hitting the limiter or getting fuel cut. So I took it to get diagnostics done on it. It said that number one cylinder was getting too much fuel and that the fuel trim was bad. Also it said that the tps was malfunctioning. Any way I go to the auto part store to get the tps and everyone they brought out was the wrong one. I then went to the mits dealer and none of them were right. Is there something I am missing. It is a stock intake man. Does anyone have a part number that will make this easier. And could all my problem have something to do with the tps.BECAUSE in the higher gears my car lags a little first. I have always thought it was do to bost leaks. Thanks for any help. Jaders :talon:

It turns out that the part has to be ordered from a Eagle dealer.For what ever reason they decided to use a few of their own parts on the motor.I am waiting for it to come in then maybe I will be able to answer a few more of my own questions. Thanks for everones help :rolleyes: :talon:
