    Idling problems after startup when engine has warmed up.

    yea i meant TPS. i asked aaron about that increasing idle thing too...he said no..was most likely just a bad spring or soething in the TPS..so i got a new one and it fixed the problem..no longer stalls

    Idling problems after startup when engine has warmed up.

    i had the exact same problem..i forgot which part it is aaron from DM told me to replace..i believe it was the CPS..or the TPS..but he said the spring inside it gets old and it causes it to not function properly..just go onto www.driftmotion.com they have the part there...fixed my problem.
