Well it wont start without the tps. So thats probably ur first and main problem.

it starts and runs fine with no TPS (well did last night) and today still has no tps (unplugged) and its just now being weird...runs fine for about 4 minutes then shuts off

got an idea as to what is causing it to shut off...the dizzy cap is messed up and the 2 springs in side are shot...so off 2 get a new dizzy cap today...we found this out by tapping on the cap and it wouldnt die or when it wanted to die we just tapped on it and it kept running
