[QUOTE="Charlie Hoss, post: 174321, member: 875"] Hey Mike, How's it going? I had the same problem a while back with the same ultimate cure...hold the throttle wide open and crank the hell out of it. I doubt if the hard starting is a symptom of a bad TPS. A few weeks ago IONBEAM posted an EXCELLENT step by step of how to get into the Diagnostic screen which comes up on your right hand gauge. You can even test the TBS right there with the diag screen. Its so easy even a cave man can do it! I'm sure you can find it with a "search". The most common symptom of a bad TPS is a missing, stumbling, or flat spots as you roll on the gas, as opposed to a smooth throttle response and power increase. The flat spots would be in the same throttle position. The TPS recall pertains to specific VIN's. My '05 wasn't listed. The effected VIN's are also listed somewhere on this forum. Charlie [/QUOTE]
