was your car turned from auto to manual? because it could be your throttle body. when u change from auto to manual, u must change the TPS sensor, which means u must change to a manual throttle body if u want the TPS sensor. cuz that was the problem for my s14. i have to gas it once for it to idle then it idles below 800k... but after it is warmed up, it goes bak to regular idling... hope this helps, good luck!

Hmm, sounds like a fuel problem. How's the fuel pump? Swap? Also might wanna check the fuel filter as well.

x2 on that.

Unfortunately my s14 is having some of the same issues. I'm thinking mine is mostly fuel/abuse related. I'm the third abuser of the car, 4th owner.
