I have had a problem with my car since June.Engine would only accept 1/3 pedal.Anything over it would cough and buck.I spent over $600 in parts cause it failed to show a code.New coils,wires,plugs,oxygen sensor,fuel pump,filter ,MAF,and drained fuel tank.Last night I got hold of a Snap On Tools diagnostic scanner,and I ran a Throttle Position Senor check.No voltage after 1/3 throttle.
So if you engine ever feels like its flooding and not taking off.Check the TPS before you do anything.

not TPS it was the crank sensor wire not fully plugged in.

oldsinner do you have a picture of the crank sensor plug and its location?

oldsinner111

cool on my engine its right above the starter.Road debris knocked mine loose.

do you have a picture? would you kindly post it. was wondering what is the relationship of crank sensor with the hesitation of your engine to run properly. by the way what is your model and series?
