I put on a new Throttle body on my car this weekend and when it came time to take off the TPS it wouldnt come off the old throttle body and I gave it a little more force and it came it.....broken though. everything on the inside of it fell out and seemed unrepairable. When I tried turning on my car it wouldnt turn on unless i had the gas pedal slightly pressed but as soon as I let go of the gas it turned off, i fixed the problem by putting a nut on one of the screws the TB spring lever rests on to keep the TB slightly open. My Service engine soon light is on but my car isnt giving me any problems, I actually notice it performing better and I get better mileage than usual because I also installed a K&N, having said all this my question is this, what are the consequences if any if I keep on driving my car like this, ive already driven it around 700 miles since this weekend because I traveled from Arizona back to base in California and no signs of failure have happened. I ordered one online but i have to drive back to AZ to get it because its been shipped there, will it be a bad Idea to drive the car the distance again?
