Over one year no stalling

I apologize if this is against the forum rules, but I replied to an old thread that I started with a different subject than this one because the info below was applicable. I know that the stalling problems with the Bonnies is frustrating so this will appear as information for that problem.

I need to leave a post to let everyone know how I made out.

The tps codes kept coming back so, that was the first thing I changed.

The stalling or no start continued.

Once while visiting a friend the car didn't start for two hours; the longest wait I had during this two year ordeal. My friend mentioned that the IAC can cause no start; just tap it lightly a couple times and try it. It started immediately. I tried to clean and reinstall the IAC but I still had stalling at idle or no start. Changed to a new IAC.

The last problem was stalling at high speed. I retested the CPS with my oscope and everything looked good on both channels. In October 2009 I finally decided to change the CPS, because the weather was getting cold again, and since then no stalling.

My theory is that it takes a while to get the oscope connected to test the CPS so, I haven't checked it at elevated temperature. The car was stalling at the same vicinity during my 25 minute ride to work, it probably got hot and malfunctioned.

Hope this helps someone else.
Jim
