Default Ima blow it up!!

Was coming home, car started running like ****. Second gear, 25-30 mph with the car floored and it would barely run. No ses light or anything came on. Got home and took the lid off ane cleaned the maf with maf cleaner and the t/b with t/b cleaner. Also took the time to spreay down in between the radiator and a/c condensor as it was filthy. Put it back together and started it up, while revving it up from under the hood, it would barely idle. This is the first time in a while its acted like this, usually it misses/stumbles after it gets hot. And of course, right before I kill it to go inside (before I blew it up, cause I was trying too) the ******* ses light comes on. Having it scanned tomorrow.


New alternator..
New TPS..

And ideas????

With it being the weekend Im severely crunched on time, as its in the shop and torn down. The guy is cool enough to give me the weekend to try and find a better and less costly pump to put in, but I'd have to have the pump by monday morning. Thunder Racing said 2 weeks on the Racetronix.
