The throttle position sensor (TPS) may fail causing intermittent drivability problems like hard starting, stalling, and/or hesitation when accelerating. A failed TPS will require replacement, proper diagnoses should always be performed before replacing any parts.

TPS is bad, poor fuel economy, hesitation, cutting out. Just plain running like poop!

I had this checked out by a mechanic and all the codes say that this is the problem. I would like to know how much this will cost?

It was running fine and than started backfiring and was undrivable.Turned off and it wouldn't start. Cleaned fuel rail and injectors. This seemed to fix problem. Went to get seal (front drive-line) now it surges consistently. It idles fine, but surges when gas pedal is held down (higher rpms).

If I tapped on the accelerator and then removed the pressure the engine would die. The problem was intermittent and was solved by replacing the throttled position sensor.
