Throttle Positioning Sensor

What would be some symptoms of a faulty TPS?? I am suuspicious of mine.

a faulty TPS will cause an unstable idle, which comes from intermittent bursts of fuel because the powertrain control module (PCM) thinks the throttle is moving.

it can also allow a deadspot while very moderately accelerating or trying to hold a cruising speed.

one can use a (preferably analog) VOM to check the values of the TPS.

good luck.
