I need help on the 7m, when drive it n bout to change gear, n another words spool up. it starts poppin and gives out and engine light comes on under boost, ran the diagnosis paper clip thing and only got code 51. swith signal. Ive looked at timing, and for boost leaks, also spark plug gap is good. thought it would b sumthing about the knock sensors but no code came off, is their a way to check them with a volt meter? also read sumthing about swith signal could b about the throttle positon sensor circuit also. my throttle value or idiler watever u wanna call it, is like warn out n seems loose, like once n awhile u hit the gas while at idle n park, it about gets stuck. n takes longer to go down n rpms. so my best guess would b the throttle valve(idler).................. any ideas or suggestions. thanks. also sorry for the sloppy typin, on my phone right now.

i put it tps on, n adjust it right, made it idle really rough, n kinda think its the throttle linkage, but also my throttle body had a small hole n it for sum rock or sumthing, n i have a throttle body from a 87, will that work on a 1990?

NO a hole would make it run leaner.... can you please make an effort to post in English, I rarely answer/help as I have NFI what you're saying 90% of the time.
