so my cars ben having a starting/idle problem for about a week now at first it was idleing to high and would stall if i reved it. so i checked the codes and pull a 41 so i got a mutimeter and check the resistance and it was way out of range. so i pulled the tb and reajusted it to within specs. then i reinstalled the tb and started it well it turns over but just wont start without a little help from the gas pedal then it idles a about 550 to 600 then out of no where it will jump to 1100 and hold there then jump back down the hole time the engine was shaking like a washing machine. I went to the exhaust to to look for smoke but there was non and then i smelt the gas it was like liquid gas coming out the exhaust pipe. I check my codes but there was none. So anyway my question is would the tps make these symtoms or mabye more liking cold start.
sry for the speech i just want to give as much background as possible
by the way i am currently runing a stock 7mgte setup.

well when i went to ajust it i was miticulous about ajusting it but i could not get the resistance at full throttle that is specified but all my others were in spec is the tps bad or need more ajustment and would that cause fuel to not be burnt

Redacted per Title 18 USC Section 798
Appears I wasted my time writing all that TPS crap in the SME section.

Your guy is correct. Code 41 results from an open or short in the VTA portion of the TPS, which cannot be resolved by adjustment. You're confusing it with code 51 which *can* be corrected by adjustment. Bottom line is either your TPS (or wiring) is bad and adjusting it won't help. I suggest you verify which is the problem before spending money.

The best way to adjust a new one is by the book.
