    Does TPS affect idle in a 2V?

    Took car out for a drive tonight. Developed and intermittent hanging idle (2000ish rpm). Noticed if I got out and banged on the TPS sensor with a screwdriver or ratchet it idled back down. Can the TPS in these cause a high idle condition? My first thought was the shit quality Pro Product throttle body was sticking but playing with/opening and closing the throttle made no difference.

    Also can someone please remind me if the low coolant idiot light in 99-04s is tied to anything besides the stupid floating in the coolant tank? I don’t think it’s tied in to fans but would love someone smarter than I to confirm.

    Thanks.

    Yes TPS can make it hang but not very common. Try tps from your stock TB to be sure, aftermarket TB causing hang is super common.

    Even get odd aftermarket TB leaking through the throttle shaft.

    Winter plans include TFS intake manifold and a 75mm Accufab so won't be heart broken if that turns out to be the case.
