Yep! Finally have the F14 in with all the goodies. Well, heres the questions:
1st: When I start the car it idles fine, but as soon as I put in gear, the ASR light comes on meaning the Traction Control is turned off. Why? Anyone ever here of this??
2nd: Thrown a TPS-range/perf code about 8 times today since I got the car running. Never heard of that before. Why?

But of course, I have all the usual stuff associated with big cams in a4 cars..random misfire codes, surging while in gear at a stoplight(which is quite interesting I must say), people looking at you strangly because my Camaro 'surges' at stoplights and its cammin pretty hard. It needs a tune bad, can hear some knock at moderate throttle going down the street..but my y-pipe is banging again which has a bit to do with it I think.

Anyone? Someone must have seen this or run into this before..
I swapped out my tps sensor with a spare to see if that was it, but no. Same thing...

Did you mess with the idle set screw? If so, did you reset the TPS?

Pull the TPS plug out of the sensor and turn your ignition to the "run" position(DO NOT START THE VEHICLE). Let the key sit for 30 seconds and then take out the key. Plug the sensor back it and you should be good to go!

yea, i reset the tps sensor. but it still throws the code everynow and then. I'm just writing it off as the effects of a large cam in a a4. I'm cool with it for now. It'll get fixed when the car gets tuned.

Thanks all for the help.

Whats the code number?

Those codes are normal for an untuned car. It does not mean you have a bad sensor and has nothing to do with setting the TPS. It just needs to be tuned.

Correct, the codes are normal for an untuned car, But, the TPS sensor does need to be reset if the set screw has been adjusted. I just thought this may be the code that he was throwing!

Yea sometimes you do have to do that manually, but that is not the cause nor will it fix his problems.
