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.

 

Spiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Spiders creep me out real bad.I have no problem with snakes though,go figure...lol

 

I hate spiders. We all shoulda known it was those evil spiders messing up your TPS!

 

damn pests! I had a mouse make a huge nest out of my air filter once. hope that solves it for you
