TPS is on the throttle on left side not on the firewall side. it has to POTS on it. its very easy to find on a N/A. they wear out and can be attributed to alot of idle problems. if you want to see if your gaskets are good get a can of carb cleaner and spray it around the engine if idle evens out you have a vacuum leak. my car had a HUUUUUUGE vacuum leak from LIM made it run like CRAP! good luck

another fun thing you can do with carb cleaner involves a lighter and the carb cleaner bottle :newburn:

Now what i need for my red 87 is for someone to sit on the hood and spray carb cleaner into it while I'm driving it to fix that freaking leak I can't find
I seem to remember incinerating a wasp nest that got me stung one day using that trick
