There's a spider in my TPS!
I kicked a code P0120 yesterday which I also got about 2 months ago. Yesterday however, I lost power for a brief moment. The first time I ignored the code but yesterday I decided I would take further action. So I decided I would try cleaning out my throttle position sensor to see if it helps before I drop $85 on a new TPS. So I unscrew it and look inside the housing. There lay a crumpled up spider and a balled up web. I'm guessing somehow that little spider caused the TPS to misread.
Weird, but I'm hoping that solves the problem for good.
