    Default ::TPS Issues and failure symptoms::

    To make a long story short, I had a TPS CEL for a while (more than 4 months) in my d15b7 with no real issues. I took my car to a shop and had the turbo kit installed, and on the way home the car was "bucking" or cutting in and out of power while I was in partial throttle. If I stepped on it a bit, the power would snap back on cue with turbo spool.... . I did not beat on the car. Never went past 5k on the rpm's. I was merely trying to make it home.

    30 minutes later... I have a whole in my block.... or two...






    DO YOU SEE THAT!!! No more than, stopping at the QT on Jimmy Carter, filling up on 93, and then blowing up after I past Pleasant Hill on 85. TPS???




    Now, here is my new engine. Compliments to Josh (Tech5)



    I would hate to see my new motor end up like my last one, so I'm asking if the TPS could have been the culprit, or am I on the wrong trail? Also, Blox has an aftermarket TPS that I can buy on Ebay. has any one ran this before? If so, any issues?
