Q: TPS sensor repaired; now idling is off
My throttle position sensor went out causing rough acceleration and reduced engine power; also causing my stabilitrak to turn off causing my truck to shake! so I replaced it and now I can't get it to idle correctly! When it's in park it will idle from 25-30 RPM, put it in drive and it idled much lower but still reduces engine power and causes stabilitrak to kick off and shaking my truck! Any opinions? I'm open lol
