*Search Failed*Car turn on then Dies
I drove my GTUs(No Mods) from my house to the local store,and it drove normal there.20 minutes later i get in and turn it on then it died.i have to keep giving it gas to keep it from dying .At a stop it shuts off and have to turn it on again.Sometimes when i try to turn the car on,the key turns more than it suppose to and it doesnt do anything.Also,my check engine light is on and its throwing out code 18,something with the TPS.any help will be greatly apreciated.

if it is a TPS code,check for the Tps Connector being either NOT plugged in or a broken wire.
the car will RUN with the Tps disconnected,but Try and give it gas,it will fall on it's face.

i just found the problem,its a vacuum or emissions hose that is located under the intake tube.the hose is black,and it comes from behind the motor to underneath the intake tube.Thanks for all the advice and input.
