Thread: 1500 rpm cut out or misfire

I haven't been able to drive the car today, so I'm not sure if the problem is going to come back yet, but yesterday and it seemed fine but I replaced and cleaned a lot as mentioned in my last post last night so I don't know what actually contributed to it working, but it could just be a fluck and the problem might come back. As for the motor mounts, I'm not sure. I do have the upper front (dog bone) motor mounts flipped but that didn't solve anything I just did it for a little more response of torque, as for the the lower motor mount I have no idea what kind of shape its in, but I can't quite see how that would cause an rpm problem, other than getting on the throttle hard and the engine rocking or bucking around. But yes, Ed Morad is a pretty cool guy from what I hear and the one time I ordered a part from him it was at my door in a day, but then again I do live in Cleveland right down the street from Ed's place. I highly suggest going to him for parts.

I was going to suggest the TPS, but you replaced it right? you could have tested the old one.. hit up a google search to see how.. you could still test the old part for interest sake.

I did not replace it.... yet, but i was testing it by unplugging it and driving (not getting hard on the throttle so the engine doesn't grenade itself) and it was running crappy still, but if the problem isn't solved now then that is the next step. I have talked to Ed Morad and he has one sitting around, so I might run to his place this weekend and install it, but if the problem is gone I might not have to. Or if I can find someone with a multi meter up here at college I'll go ahead and test the TPS just out of curiousity.
