TPS sensor questions Just completed my cam swap and car keeps dying. I have an appointment to get it tuned this upcoming week but i would like to be able to drive it until then. I adjusted the screw on the throttle blade and it idles a lil better but still dies. I was told to reset the TPS on the car. I did a search and found out some information but couldnt find where the TPS sensor was located. Also do i just have to unplug it and set the % and then plug it back in? Any help is greatly appreciated. Never messed with any tuning what so ever with these cars!

If you didn't mess with the TB then it's unlikely the
TPS is your problem. More usual is that the cam has
messed up your low-RPM mixture and the same idle
air is not enough to run with a pig-rich fueling. The
idle airflow settings that control the IAC, and the
airflow calculations that support idle and fuel, need
fixed. Avoid messing with the hardware (jacking the
screw, drilling holes) and get the tune lined up right.

Yea, i just went out and adjusted the screw alil more and it seems to be idling better. I went ahead and reset the TPS just for good measure but I just need it to be drivabe for a couple days and so i can drive to get it tuned.

I wanted to know do the tps sensor does this mess with the car shift patterns like wot hitting the rev limiter?
And I bought a new one (tps) my throttle bodie was ajusted do I have to set it back like it was before installing the new sensor?
