tps problem?

if my car sits for 30 min it will start up and drive fun. but after 20-30 mins it will sputer and i will have a dead gas pedal and then it will die. Somtimes i can get it to run again, other times i start it and it sputurs for alittle and then dies. but if i go back like 30- mins later i can start it and drive again. I changed my starter, coil, and map sensor. what do u guys think?

i think you're replacing parts without any trouble shooting. you ought to make sure the tune up is good, filters ok, no vacuum lines broke. scan it for codes.

A bad ignition module can do that.

I agree, mine did the same thing and it turned out to be the pick-up module. The second time I had the similar problem, it was due to n aged connection at the FP relay.
