Hi,

My throtte is so sensitive that I do a lot of bucking and jerking. Have to feather touch the gas to keep this from happening. Any cause or diagnosis? Thanks!

The TPS might have a worn spot in the bottom part of the windings.

What is a TPS? I'm no mechanic as you can tell.

take it to the dealer and have them check the APP. This is the Accelerator Pedal Position sensor. Its actually the accel pedal itself has 3 sensors in it. If they are acting up, it will likely throw a code as well.
