well back to the same problem. my car is dying once again when no pressure is applied to the gas pedal. most of the time it will die. sometimes it'll struggle and keep itself alive. other times it'll idle at 500 rpm then raise and drop. the problem came back just yesterday. also around 2700 rpm, right before i shift, its as if the car is struggling. and sometimes during the lower gears when i dont step on gas the exhaust makes a noise. it kinda sounds like its suckin air? im not too sure how to describe it. this happens sometimes and sometimes it doesnt. it was also smoking. i dont know what color because it was at night and i just saw it from the headlights behind me. i dont really know what is wrong. does it seem like a o2 and tps sensor problem? i ordered/bought a tps sensor but its being shipped to autozone and should be there wednesday. then i bought a o2 sensor but its not fitting.
i know this is a dumb question, and i havent worked on a car. this is my first car. do i take off that bigger nut piece that fits into that hole onto the exhaust? the bosch one i bought doesnt screw onto the exhuast hole at all. its too small. but the one thats in there has like a bigger thing on it. that goes onto the hole.
