Have you taken off your MAS for cleaning without disconnecting the battery?
If so, that could be the problem because your computer gets a wrong readout.

Try to disconnect that battery for a few minutes and see what happens.
Just a thought...

 

i am assuming that you mean the car's battery.....yes, i have disconnected it and reloaded the tune(just in case)...

 

I sure miss the oldschool days man...
This over electronized sh#t pisses me off.
I want a distributor and a throttle cable!!

 

Holy crap this seems to be happening more and more and more and more...

Mine is an 06, failed TPS, turns out it was the TB. Hope this helps!

 

if it makes you feel any better i have replaced 3 failed TPS on my car since i owned in in january of 05

 

What are the symptoms? What exactly does the car act like when this happens.

 

this isnt covered under warranty if u have a CAI right?

 

Take her back to stock, and wtf would they know? Symptoms = car goes into limp home mode. This mode, I believe, shuts half of the cylinders down, tops the car off at like 45 mph, and sets the rev limiter to like 3-4k rpm. It's meant to prevent more damage to the vehicle, though I believe is very unsafe when it engages at highway speeds.
