Throttle position sensor, huh? Where's that located exactly, and is it a pain to replace?

Yeah man, TPS. It's on the throttle body itself. I didn't mess with it myself; took it straight to the shop. They said the module was shot and charged me 205€. Best to get it checked to be sure.

Appreciate the info. Sounds like that's the likely culprit. I'll get it looked at. Ended up being the accelerator pedal module and the workshop charged me 205€ to replace it. Starts like a charm now.

Yo, I had something similar with my 350Z. Rough starts and the gas mileage tanked. Like trying to run a marathon with clown shoes. Check your throttle position sensor, dude.
