Last night I got the car to start. The weird thing is that I didn't fix anything. It seems to bascially start when it wants to. I drove it around a bit and it boosted just fine and It didn't stall or anything. Being that it runs and starts just fine means I can eliminate the CPS right? I assume...

So I guess I will go test the TPS then because I shouldn't assume it is working correctly. Will a bad TPS cause my car to not start though?

So, the CPS might still be bad and I should take the cover off and check the air gaps? I understand that it means there is a bad TPS, something wrong with the TPS circuit, A/C amplifier, etc. I don't understand why you asked this question though. The code cleared after I fixed the water temp...

Background: I was leaving work and tried to start my car. I turned the key and the starter starts turning the engine over. I hear the engine chugging and puffing, but it wouldn't start. Every now and then the engine would puff and the RPMs would slightly increase, meaning the engine seems to be...
