Re: TPI problem
Pull your computer down from the pass. side of the dash, pull the aluminum case off it and flex the PC board around while the car is idling high.
If the idle comes down while you're flexing it, it's the computer. Just get a reman. from the dealer...
Very common problem with all the TPI cars...
