Angry That $2*%@ TPS is acting up again!

The truck shifted in and out of overdrive all the way to work (18 miles).

This past Sunday I rerouted the TPS wiring all the way to the back of the engine to the first connector.

Should I pull the wires out of that connector and bypass it altogether?

This is really aggravating me!

Maybe it time to consider Ouchmans inexpensive dial-in tps fix.
