I've got a serious problem. I can't keep my car running. It's got a hard time starting, and I have to keep gas on it to even keep it running, if I let off the gas, it falls to 500, then dies. The SES light wasn't on when it was running, but I put the little scantool( I didn't buy it, but may as well use it) and 2 codes flashed, 22 and 34. I understand that it's the TPS and either the EGR or the BARO, but would either (or both) of these codes cause the car to fun like garbage and not stay lit? Any help or pictures to point me in hte right direction would be very appreciated.

 

Can anyone help?

I got it started this morning, but it's running extremely rich and has some trouble moving from a stop. It seems to struggle a little, then picks up and goes, but it smells kinda like unburnt fuel, but different than what it smells like at a gas station or in a container. What's the deal here? Please help!!!

 

code 22 is TPS too low and 34 is Map sensor voltage high - prssure high/vacuum low. For the 22 make sure the voltage is at .54 with throttle closed. For the 34 make sure the sensor is plugged in and is getting a vacuum signal from the intake manifold.

 

Would either of those two situations cause it to run like it is?

 

Yes but more so because of the MAP than TPS.

 

I know this sounds dumb, but is there a specific way to check for this? i don't have a lot of experience with the map sensor :-(

Should I just replace the sensors and hope for the best, or is there a way to see if the sensors (Especially the map) are faulty?
