    I replaced my TPS a few months ago because of a different problem I was having while my car was hesitating to shift. It fixed it for awhile but came back. Now sometimes my car won't shift out of first because my pcm thinks it's at wot. I don't want to change my tps again because I don't think that's the cause. Could it be my wiring? I briefly checked it and the wires seem very hard, almost brittle. They didn't seem to have any cracks, but I just took a quick look, I didn't pull back on the plastic wire cover. It's an on and off problem. Weirdly enough it happens more if I don't let my car warm up before driving. Any suggestions?

    if the wires dont bend freely i bet they are cracked somewhere. its easy enough to solder a new pigtail on.

    Ok, so I would need to replace the wires for the tps, iac, and MAF? Or could I buy just tps wires?

    they are sold for each sensor, they all rope into the same harness.

    i got a maf and iat pigtail off ebay when i first got my car. like 10 bucks each.

    from these guys, everything they sell is pretty much LS stuff, but PM them they will make anything with a stock plug on the end. o2 extentions too.
