Just a quick heads-up on a couple items. Almost every car is the same when adjusting the TPS. If it has three wires, generally the center wire is the signal wire. Backprobe that center wire ('backprobe' means slide a pin or similar alongside the wire and into the back of the connector - piercing automotive electronic wires is a serious no-no, corrosion/resistance build-up), and connect a good digital voltmeter. Key on, engine off with throttle at rest, adjust the TPS to .5v DC +/- .1v. Using resistance to adjust the TPS can occasionally screw you up. I learned my lesson...

Well, if you're right about this Beav, because I haven't backprobed the TPS socket, I've buggered it.

What do you think of my problem above?? I was really hoping the new TPS would solve that one. The tranny was rebuilt last December, oil is not smelly or burnt [although I am about to get it replaced as a matter of course, for peace of mind], and the big rev-up only seems to happen a lot in D when I try to rev away from slow speed in 4. It will also happen from a standing start in a hurry though.

Slipping band on 2 & 4??
