Throttle Body Acting Really Wierd

OK when the car is cold it will start right up but if i don't let it warm up it starts to lunge forward in first gear. Then when it is all warmed up and running great, ill turn it off and go somewhere for like an hour and when i come back i have to keep priming the engine until it warms up.

I just had the TPS changed and new Fuel Injectors.

Any clues to what im talking about??

When you say “prime” do you mean you have to squirt fuel into the throttle while some else cranks it?



Happy Racing!

You mean you have to hold the pedal down to get it started, then keep your foot on the gas to keep it running?
just for shXts and grins, check to see if all of your sensors are plugged in and the wires look good and not mixed up. my truck has two temperature sensors that look similar, one is gauge, one is computer engine temp sensor, and when the computer temp sensor failed, it ran as above and got 1 mpg.

Re: Throttle Body Acting Really Wierd

the sensor the computer sees is called CTS (coolant temp sensor) and sits close to the t-stat housing on the intake manifold. you can test your CTS using a volt/ohm meter, use the search on this board.

Do you hear the fuel pump prime for 2 seconds when you turn the key forward but not on ? Maybe something in the pump busted allowing fuel in the lines to flow back into the tank or canister, canister could be full of fuel.
