Q:
I have a 1996 Buick regal 3.8 cc V8 engine. It idles high even in the summer upon start up and can take up to 30 miles before it idles down. The only way to idle down is to turn the engine off and restart. It may take up to 3 tries to accomplish this. In the winter it is worse. Would a faulty throttle position sensor cause this.Asked on 12/18/2010 by French Connection from Florida1 answer

Q:
96 Camaro 3.8 at times it misses and cuts out and runs very bad when giving the car any gas or taking off or trying to accelerate. Scan showed a code of 102 (MAF). Replaced (MAF). Still runs bad!!! STill shows code of 102. Could it be the TPI and show a code for MAF. Or be the EGR and show a code for MAF. Had different car once that run just like this and it was the EGR.
Every one in while the car runs correctly.. but most of the time not. I cruises fine... but once you attempt to give it gas it stumbbles and jerks untill you let up on the gas. Please help.Asked on 10/17/2010 by batman from leavenworth ks1 answer

Q:
WHAT DOES THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DO? ARE WHAT DOES IT CONTROL ON ENGINE?Asked on 5/22/2010 by WILLARD from HAMPTON, GA.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the position of the throttle in an internal combustion engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle valve butterfly. The sensor is usually a potentiometer, and therefore provides a variable resistance dependent upon the position of the valve (and hence throttle position). The sensor signal is used by the engine control unit (ECU) as an input to its control system. The ignition timing and fuel injection timing (and potentially other parameters) are altered depending upon the position of the throttle, and also depending on the rate of change of that position.Answered on 5/24/2010 by Rose from AAP
