Re: 95 cutlass: engine revs high on its own after 15 minutes

I don't think it is the TPS though. I've just replaced the TPS and IAC on my Talon. It wouldn't start when it was cold. It would turn over, but die immediately. It would take 8 tried before it would start and hold the idle. Alot of times, it would still die. RPM would drop and not be able to get it back up, then die. It idles crappy all the time too. In between shifts, the idle would stay up high. It was nice because it gave me all the time to shift without having to ref-match, but that's a different story.

The Olds starts fine. It idles crappy sometimes. And just like what the poster said, when driving, the car would start lurching forward, and you have to hit the brakes harder. It would then die. Usually starts up fine then. It's now doing it more and is almost impossible to drive now. It does it even more when making a left turn. TB is clean, and the IAC is clean. No leaks in any hoses, and all vacuum hoses look good too. Still no CEL neither, just when it dies.
