well i am having some problems w/ my car once again, last time i got a new ecu and then got a new chip for it and everything worked out a-ok. Well this time its not the ecu because i already swapped ecu's w/ my bro's car, mine worked fine in his and w/ his my car still wouldn't run right. The situation is that it is hard to start and when it starts it seems to not like throttle. its really hard to explain as i've never had to daignose something like this, but when you give it small amount of throttle it revs fine, but when you try to go over that the engine completely stalls until you go back to little or no throttle. I tried to drive it and it doesn't want to run w/ any load on it. Im leaning towards tps sensor as it would make the most sense to me. If anyone has any tips/suggestions please let me know. Once the car's running i get to perform the ka/rb hybrid transmission, man i love my car.
