Yeah I have that problem, and I know for a fact that my TPS is off. I just haven't fixed it. . .hmm, I don't have class today, maybe I'll do that now.

Throttle Position Sensor. It lets the computer know how far the throttle is open.around. I corect me if i'm wrong but i think the computer sets closed throttle every time you start your car. As long as it's around .90-.99v it's fine.
