Running Rough

[tim182]

lately I have noticed that on my ba 04 xr6t when I start my car it revs a lot higher than normal, before it would hit 1.5k at most on start and now it goes to 2k and higher and also idles a lot higher, at 1.5k instead of just under 1. when this happens after I have put the car into drive my check engine light comes on and it runs like a dog almost getting to the point of whats seems like stalling and if I try to accelerate its like its not even connected. so was just wondering is there anything I can do to fix this or while I have to pay a mechanic to do so?

cheers all

^ Yeap I had exact same issues I found if I started the car up and revved The car before selecting drive or reverse it wouldnt do it. Replaced tps and problem is gone. $100 on eBay.

mine did this twice only 1st time turned it off and it was fine second time ( 2 weeks later)I was around the corner from mechanic he diagnosed it as tps. Replaced it and had no more issues for 6 months till I sold it.

TPS! Try reving it before putting it in drive I bet you it DOESN'T do that

...Scratch that idea! Just watched the whole video :/
