Throttle Position Sensor set too high

[spaulding5252]

I have a 93' Buick Regal Gran Sport 3.8L with 196000 miles, about three months ago I had the Check Engine light come on. It would come on occasional at best, some times not for a week, and when it came on you could feel a change in the gas pedal. It even died a couple of times sitting at a stoplight. My step dad has a code reader so I asked him to check it out, the code reader came up with Throttle Position Sensor set too low. I bought a manual and it told me that they are not adjustable. So I replaced the TPS, and reset the code and it ran like a champ for about two months. Now my light is back on, so we checked for the code again and now it's telling me that the TPS is set too high. I am at a loss, do I replace the TPS again or could there be something else causing it to malfunction. The light is coming on and going off a lot more frequently than before, probably about every five or ten minutes. I hope someone will be able to come up with some ideas for me to try. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to AF, did any one try and adjust the base idle? Second, try cleaning the throttle body, you may need a full scan to look at the tps readings.

Nope, I have not had any problem with the accelerator, yet.
