replaced the map sensor and the tps and made sure all the vacuum lines are hooked up and it still wont run. have a mechanic coming to look at it tonight.

Lesson learned: Don't just throw parts at the problem. Unless you happen to have them laying around of course...

 

[xjoffroad]

Tps

I agree,I would check out the tps(throttle position sensor)it is mounted on your intake plenum on the opposite side from where your throttle hooks up and has 1 plug.:awesomework:

I know it's a little north, but a shameless plug for GaryTJ's shop in Stanwood. They have always done me right.

Sunshine Automotive on Hwy 99 near 148th. Family members and friends take their stuff there, good guy. But he can be busy.

Just a quick question, did you try cleaning out that main electrical connector thingy above the brake booster?
