Quick question on TPS
I am in need of some expert advice for my '92 740 B230F. I was playing around with the TPS today. Is it 'normal' for the car to idle and rev just fine with the TPS unplugged on a hot engine? Starting the engine with the TPS unplugged when cold will cause the engine to stall within a few seconds. The sensor is adjusted so that it 'clicks' as soon as the throttle moves. I am asking because I'm trying to diagnose a rough idle on start issue and am going though the list of possibilities. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What you describe seems normal to me. I always equated the TPS as analogous in some respects, to a carb's choke circuit. Is your rough idle on hot starts, cold starts? Sometimes covering all the basics first eliminates some of these annoying habits our aging cars develop. Have you removed the TB, cleaned it thoroughly and renewed the gasket if necessary? Plugs, cap, rotor, wires? Any codes?

I'm going to be replacing some coolant hoses next weekend and hopefully can get some work done on the intake system while I'm at it.
Thanks again for the reply, I am always open to advice.
