Sounds like tps to me, have you checked it besides poking it with your finger, mainly the test lights or volt meter?

Sounds like your afm is going bad or there is an intake leak after it. I had the same symptoms on both my 10th ann and an 87 gxl, the 10th ann had an intake leak between the afm and the turbo, and the afm was going bad on the gxl.

Thanks for the response without the doggish dialog...i have check the TPS w/lights and a meter. when i press the TPS in all the way the motor heads to redline quick i mean fast dude.( love the TII motor bwoy)

we checked the afm per FSM and it fine according to the FSM..I plan on blocking off everything and triple checking the hoses. going to be replacing all vac lines that remain and the gasket for the Upper to Lower. can it test okay and still be bad?

sorry for the delay in responding...the tps has been checked with lights and multimeters..it appears to be good.

I just got my block off plates, new waterpump housing and upper intake gaskets. when i take her apart i will change the clamps with some clamps i can tighten down...thanks for the input..if all else fails i will change the afm and the tps even though both tested fine.
