Dude... You're from Vernon. That's almost scary. I lived there...

 

 

 

Umm, anyways, sounds like the TPS got wet. It'll probably take care of itself. Or maybe not. Let it run for a while and warm up, it'll dry everything out.

Last I heard of a problem like that, it was a wet TPS. Got a hair dryer?

I am not sure what it was but i undid all electrical connectors and vac lines and blew them out with compressed air waited 15 min and hooked it all back up and away it went! go figure! i didnot find any moisture in any connectors or vac lines but hey it worked :cheers:

You're lucky. Water usually destroys the TPS.

I'm glad I read this as I was thinking about doing a good engine wash job in the very near future now that I have all the leaks fixed :brows:. Guess I'll be finding a shower cap for the throttle body... :D
