Hi all,
Further to the subject, my 130K mile 93' Sport has started to surge and jolt occassionally when it is driving. It initially happened a few months ago and disappeared, but then it re-occurred about a month ago, then last night driving home from work, it did it for most of the way home (about a 25 minute drive).
In trying to describe what happens, it just seems to jolt and then have the power die off, only to surge back after a few seconds - even though my foot pressure on the accelerator pedal is constant during it all.
I've had a look on a few other threads, and I think it might be the TPS, b/c as far as I'm aware, it's never been replaced. If it is this sensor, does anyone know if a person with average mechanical skills is able to do the job at home with regular tools ? Also, does this sensor need to be specially adjusted or similar ? If so, how ?
Any ideas as to the cause and solution would be greatly appreciated.
