Now that the TPS is replaced, the reading is at 0 which is where it should be. Like I told him, if the car was just leaking oil, I could put up with it. But I can't drive a car that stalls without warning . . . that's just dangerous. But, I'm here to tell you, TPS's aren't cheap. Oh well . . . I got the car way below what it was worth a year ago, I guess I'm paying on the back end now . . .
Once they tell me the price.. I just say can't afford it right now. Go to parts store and learn how to do it on my own....saves you TONS of money in the long run and also learning how to fix things is awesome!!!
