I have a 93lx 5.0 and i have the same problem. I unhooked the tps and the car runs like a champ. Has anyone found the correct fix for this problem?

you would never believe it but putting a new ecu fixed my problem.....the problem was that somebody had taken the ecu braket out and so it was hanging and flopping around, which eventually nocked everything inside all to hell so the new ecu and alot of other money for stuff i didnt need and its fixed

What did you gap your spark plugs at?

Sounds like you have two wires in the wrong place?

Check the tip of your coil pack, where the plugs wire is on at, remove the plug wire and try to move the silver tip with your hand, if its loose, repalce the coil pack, even if it turns.

Here, now fix that man,

replace fuel filter, and do "Idle Setting Procedure" that FORD can give you..........YOU MUST do this procedure when you do those kind of mods to your car

I'm Running around in a 93 ford probe having the same issue... it wasnt so bad until i replaced the clutch and transmission ( although the trans did come from a junkyard) before the transmission swap al i did was fiddle with a screw on the air intake and it worrked... alright at times.. but still couldnt punch it like i wanted to... and now i have to slowly apply the gas and ive come to realize how grandma feels when i ride her ***... i havent tried the tps yet and i have absolutely no money for a new anything... but my question is.. if i take the tps sensor cable off.. and just drive like that.. will it be ok?
