SOURCE: tps sensor

There are 2 screws that hold the TPS on to the side of the throttle body. Before you take the old TPS off, note where the TPS is located regarding the adjustment slots. Remove the 2 screws, and remove the old TPS, install the new one, and try to achieve the SAME adjustment. If you get the adjustment wrong, the engine will idle up & down. If it does, move the new TPS slightly until the idle smooths out.

SOURCE: bad stumble on acceleration pops through t- body.

Sounds like the fuel pressure regulator. Could also be that the timing jumped. But I'm leaning towards the pressure regulator. Hope that I could help. Best wishes.

one of you air line pipes could have collapsed or split which will cause a problem with idling and performance and it will give no smoke signs

Have you looked at your idle air control valve What is it? This is an electrically driven valve that allows additional control over the throttle at idle Where is it located? The IAC is located on or adjacent to the throttle body and consists of a small device held on by two bolts with an electrical connector.
How does it work? When the throttle is closed the throttle plate closes off any air from the intake manifold. In order to stop the engine from stalling due to lack of air the IAC opens a small valve allowing air to pass from the air ducting to the intake manifold. Often the IAC components consist of an air inlet port in the inside wall of the throttle body, immediately in front of the throttle plate, with a similar exit port behind the throttle plate. Connecting the two ports is a motor driven valve. When the valve is opened air effectively by-passes the closed throttle plate to maintain the engine at idle. The IAC also augments the throttle when additional power demands are put on the engine such as steering.


Symptoms of faulty IAC

  • Poor starting: If the IAC fails to open or the inlet/exit ports are clogged shut with carbon the engine may start and then promptly stall. The engine can be kept running by pressing the accelerator. However any additional demand on the engine such as power steering or putting the car into drive (automatic) will cause the engine to stumble badly and often stall.
  • Engine cut out: Even with the engine warmed when the vehicle is stationary such as at a red light the putting of the transmission into of 'drive' to pull away before the accelerator is pressed can cause the engine to stall. (Note this differs from the TPS fault which causes engine stall due to the accelerator being pressed too quickly)

How to check? Physically remove the IAC but keep the electrical connection to it. Temporarily block off the now open ports on the throttle, turn the engine on and examine the IAC valve action in response to additional loads (power steering inputs etc). The valve should open and close according to demand.

How to fix? If the motor of the IAC has failed then replace the IAC. If the valve is gummed closed by baked oil and carbon then clean it thoroughly with carburetor choke cleaner spray and a cloth. Similarly if the entry and exit ports on the throttle body to the IAC look blocked again clean them out thoroughly.

Testimonial: "Fast response and good advice, I'll try these suggestions and let you know the results."

What happens if the drive belt breaks

if a drive belt breaks, the debris can interfere with other engine components and do additional damage. rule of thumb belt life is 6yrs or 60000 miles. the belts operate critical engine systems ( alt, water pump, power steering pump) not something to short cut on. belts are noisey when cold due to additional load from battery use when starting or cold fuuids. have belts and tensioners checked for wear and correct operation

I drive for a while and its fine then out of the blue it feels like it doesnt want to go like its losing fuel until I floor the gas and it runs fine again and it will do it again whenever it feels like it....

If by losing fuel you mean it wants to stall whenever your foot is off the accelerator, than you are correct, the TPS is usually the culprit It's common for a car with a bad TPS to run great when the engine is cold and want to stall when you come to a stop. Other symptoms of a bad TPS is a stalling problem when warm and the car is in park. Running a diagnostic test will probably show a bad MAF sensor as well but the 2 parts work hand in hand and a MAF sensor alone doesn't usually fix the problem.

1986 Nissan King Cab pick up. Runs good when giving gas, but cuts off at an idol. Have replaced Altenator.

Based on the information provided, it sounds like a bad TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). The TPS controls your idling speed under all conditions. When a TPS goes bad, you will usually notice the vehicle will idle when the engine is cold but once warm or with the AC on, it will sputter or stall.

After my 94 plymouth voyager 3.0L gets to runnig temp it misfires and stalls once in gear.It runs fine when its cold. I did a tune-up and still have the same problem

Have fuel pressure checked when it starts to misfire/stall and driving down the road at normal speeds.
Not unusual for fuel pump to run at proper pressure when cool, but lose pressure when warmed up. If it's only running bad when off accelerator and stopping or turning and runs down the highway good, remove and clean AIS/IAC motor. ( idle speed motor ) Once cleaned, if it runs better for a while then starts to act up again, replace it.

Saab 95 2002 3.0l v6 turbo. when warm, starts to

Have you had your mass air meter checked or replaced? This is the unit attached to the air intake hose behind your air filter. It senses the air temperature, speed, density, etc... and adjusts the fuel/air ratio to keep the vehicle running at "peak" performance. Also, check your TPS (throttle positioning sensor) it can also cause the problem you speak of. The TPS adjusts your engine speed/idle etc. and also compensates for hot/cold changes etc. This is roughly a $35.00 part and in most cases usually an easy fix.

94 eldorado stalls

First impression is a MAP sensor. If you take the car to a service station or an auto parts store that features free diagnostic tests, I'm sure the MAP sensor fault will appear. Other cause could be the TPS which controls the idle at cold,warm, and AC operation settings. It's possible that you're stalling due to insufficient idle speed setting on the TPS.

94 Lincoln TC engine stalls when slowing/stopping

Most common cause of stalling for Lincolns in that era is the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). It regulates fuel mixture, idle speed etc. A bad TPS will usually act up in one of two ways:
  1. When cold, car continually stalls
  2. When warm, car stalls when slowing down (especially if AC is on)
As far as valve cover oil leak, it's a problem that should be addressed to keep oil from fouling your spark plugs but highly unlikely to be the cause of your stalling problem. Hope this answers your question. All the best.
