98 240SX automatic... I think it might be running rich on start-up causing it to bog out. Now I think it's the K&N.

warm motor, disconnect TPS, start car, watch idle and adjust to whatever it's supposed to be at (look at underside of hood for this info)

Could you please tell me where it's located and what is involved in the disconnection?

there should be a sensor near or on the throttle body..where the accelerator cable connects. this will be on the opposite side and connected to the butterfly...I will look for a pic...

to disconnect.. carefully pull the plastic plug off. It may have a metal "paper clip" at the base to make sure its secure.

red plug I believe..under installation 1)http://images.google.com/imgre...a%3DG
