After thought here....Just for the heck of it.. Your throttle is opening all the way correct? Look down in your TBI and make sure that it is in fact opening all the way.

Yes throtyle opens all the way. In fact if i punch it the computer hesitates before sending more fuel, when its cold i actually can/have stalled it like this. This is my third tps, but the last one i deffinitly messed up when i threw it at the ground and the first was falling apart after 135k miles. I bought the nicer one from advance autoparts, so lifetime means ill be back there again xD. Any other sensors that could be bad? How about the one by the coolant line on the intake manifold (i dont know what anythings called)? She runs okay and starts 98% of time so im not looking to go to crazy, just to have something to do in this winter wonderland

One last question- what is the rpm range these tbi 5.0 shift at from factory at wot? Like if mine shifts at 5200 is that to high? Is that safe? Is redline closer to 6? I dont have a factory tach

I'll look at my tach after I eat breakfast. At the restaurant now. But that sounds to high..

If your talking bout the sensor by the upper radiator hose that would be the coolant temp sensor for the computer.. That can mess things up too.

Yea that coolant temp sensor has been covered in various fluids a few times, i might as well replace that when i do the o2
