hey guys ordered a new tps sensor for the vert but doesnt come in until wednesday. My car stumbles slightly when my throttle position switch ( its an auto still) is plug in and runs pretty smooth with it unglugged with the throttle position sensor still plug in. Is it safe to run it this way? doesnt seem to me changing my A/F to much. maybe a tiny bit leaner? Just your guys thoughts with this thanks

Really nobody knows about this? i doubt all you guys have manual 240's. and i know there's a few problems with the auto tps and trying to find an actual OEM one. No ones experimented with running with out the throttle switch attached?

Your trans will not upshift/downshift on an auto, and the ecu won't know what load cell to be in which can cause some very unsafe timing, and afrs under wot. Highly advise to not play with this kind of fire.
