    It was doing this before i replaced the TPS.. then i replaced it and still doing same thing. I forget the exact code.. I took it off and cleaned it very thouroghly with about a can of cleaner... put it back on after it dried and still doesnt work right... Im really suspecting its a vacuum leak.. giving up and taking it to my mechanic tomorrow morning to take a look. Will update.

    If you suspect and EGR vaccum type leak. Pull the tube from teh EGR to the LIM. Pull the piece that holds it to the lim back and look at the integrity of the tube in the light.

    There is no vacuum with your 6 cylinders pushing exhaust through that pipe.

    When the egr is closed though and the tube is cracked..it's the one between the valve and LIM that would potentially be a very common leak on these motors

    Any way you can provide a picture or anything to give me a visual of where this is.

    FYI... back to the TPS.. The one i installed is a bwd TPS.. I didnt bother doing any adjusting.. straight from the box:

    BWD TPS maintain specific installed outputs to match OE rather than adjustable consolidated designs

    So i am good with that right?

    Tell us what TPS position or voltage reads with your foot off the throttle and the car idling in any gear. That's how we can tell if your TPS is working/installed properly. Technically you shouldn't have to do any adjusting.
