Remove TPS ?

Quick question. What does the TPS do and what would happen if I removed it?

Well, the stock ECU needs the TPS to compile data and send throttle position signals back and fourth. With out it you'll get a code and run rich... or lean... not sure.

I acctually ran like this for a whole day, car RAN, but had Lumpy idle, would studder at 5500, would backfire upon decel, just ran funny. And no i didnt run without the TPS on purpose, i was working on the car the night before and removed the TB ect... (forgot to plug TPS back in)

Smile Thanks

Alright relisys, thanks. I was just curious because I did actually run a day without out it. I readjusted a few things to smooth out the ride, but I was not sure what I had actually done. I really did not feel like breaking something. Thanks again.
