What do you mean by "choke down"? Does it slow the idle to shutdown levels? I'm just trying to make sure I understand what you mean before I make a guess...er...I mean try and give advice

it boggs down rpms fluctuate and then it cuts off

Idle speed too high.

The 3vze computer features a nifty 100% fuel cut when you have the brakes on and the RPM is over about 1500. Saves you gas and stuff. But, when the idle is set too high, the fuel cut kicks in and out as you slow down or when the brakes are on at a stop light. Sucks, huh? Good thing it is an easy fix!

Allow me to reiterate my post in the Maintenance thread and/or redirect you there: Throttle Position Sensor

Same thing goes for you DudeBud.

so you think its the TPS wouldn't it be giving a CEL if it was?

Depends and, not necessarily.

It does'nt hurt to check it out and you may be able to do it with the diagnostic check procedure.
