    Default Vtec Stutter: TPS?

    well, this just started happening, about a week ago i was driving the ITR around, and did a 0-120 pull and it was all fine, get on a backroad and chrip 2nd hard...and then it did not go into vtec when i switched to 3rd gear

    pulled into a neighborhood, figured a plug came off, and thats what it was..the TPS plug had came off, plugged it back in and all was good

    was driving it again yesterday, goes into vtec perfect, and then has a slight stutter between 7-8k rpms

    now i inspected the TPS some more, the actual part where it plugs in is broken off.bad connection?..the head of the 2 screws that bolt it in are also broken off

    the oil level is fine, infact i added a quart before i went out, so its not because of that...

    could the hesitation/stutter be a cause of a bad TPS? it doesnt do it ALL the time either. or could it be a bad vtec solenoid? had a similar problem in my GS-R


    pics of said tps...arrow pointing to where its broken...the plug doesn't "snap" in either, just sort of chills there
