I just did a search on bad TPS sensors, some people are saying after replacing it they see 8-900 rpms. I guess that's about right? Maybe us resetting it just got it back to a decent running point.
Does yours shift kinda hard when you go from park to drive or park to reverse?
I'm not going to be able to work on mine for the next few days but hopefully I can try this out soon. If you happen to get to it lmk

Just replaced it. Seems a ton better. I was sitting at a light and it was right at 700 rpms and didn't bog or search for idle. i think I've got it but I didn't drive it very far. I will get it warmed up tom and I have to make a 2.5 hr trip and I'll let you know how it goes.

Which sensors did you clean? The only difference in the new TPS I got and my old one was the middle piece seemed loose, like it would wiggle around but it was clean. Idk what else to look at. I really need to just buy my headers and go get it tuned...

Yeah nevermind. I actually let it warm up this morning driving it and didn't notice any difference when I came to a stop. Which sensors did you clean?

I took out the iac and it looked pretty clean but I will wipe it off and reset it. I will try cleaning the iat too. I drove it around tonight and it feels like it's going to fall on it's face and was even stuttering when I accelerate from a stop. I haven't touched anything but the tps before I drove it and even ran a new rs Camaro and my car still pulled away hard. It's driving fine just idling weird and shifting hard from park to reverse and drive but I think that's a u joint. The screw got turned slighty when I took out the tps but I set it back where it was when I put the tps back in.

OK ... i just got a code last night... it says bank 2 cat system.... now i dont have any cats ... but i do have all four oxygen sensors installed... an i figured it woul throw a code an maybe run rich... but i did the exhaust a year ago and and it ran fine for 3/4 of the year.... but i wanna know why only bank 2 is showing up.. an not both sides of the cat system.
