BassJunkie Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) Okay so I start my car up and it idles normally for about 5 seconds then rev's outta control until its put in gear. I popped the hood and its the thing thats controlling the throttle its pushing it almost wide open, I'll take pics tomorrow but is it this part thats broken, or is it something else?

Ive had probloms on my 87 seville with it. I think it was only $60 bucks for a new one, and If I remember right all the non northstar engines use the same tps, so you may be able to find one in a bone yard from a older seville or eldorado.

BassJunkie Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) My original thought it was the TPS but, I have no clue where its located so I guess I'm going to have to buy a book. Yeah I'm getting it at a bone yard for sure. Edit: Btw audiofanaticz is that your cadillac in your sig? If so what wheels and what size, they look sick.
