                          With reference to this BWD Throttle Position Sensor - part# EC3310P, the throttle position sensor and or even the idle air control valve may be the possible cause of the problem. However, I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem. For any further assistance, you may also visit your nearest Advance Auto store or call us directly at 1-877-ADVANCE (238-2623) and one of our representatives there would be more than happy to assist you.

                          Have you tried the MAP sensor? One way i have cured this is: Turn key OFF for 30 seconds. Push accelerator COMPLETELY to floor, hold it there. Turn key on, but do NOT start. Continue holding to floor for 30 seconds. Let foot off. Turn key off. Then try to start.

                          The TPS is located right on top of engine, next to fuel injector or carburetor, on passenger side. Usually has a wiring harness coming off the top if it.

                          A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the position of the throttle. The ignition timing and fuel injection timing are altered depending upon the position of the throttle, and also depending on the rate of change of that position
