A bad TPS might cause the engine to not fire up during cranking. But not crank? Nope.
A bad idle air control sensor or a bad throttle position sensor.
A faulty ect (engine coolant temperature) sensor can do that.
I don't believe the 03 S-10 uses an etc (electronic throttle control) sensor.
The Throttle Position sensor measures the throttle position, which is controlled by the gas pedal. It is used to determine engine load and if it fails it can cause automatic transmission shifting problems.
A bad throttle sensor can cause engine jerking and rough running. A test of the computer codes should show if there seems to be a problem with the sensor.
You don't have a carb on that vehicle, it is throttle body fuel injected.
A failing throttle position sensor will cause idling problems when the car is warm. The failing sensor can also cause the car to stall when idling.
could be a bad TPS throttle position sensor OR a bad IAT idle air control temp sensor.
gas pedal cable?, fuel pump?
It is possible but not likely.
sounds like a damged tps,change the throttle position sensor,goodluck from jay!
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) or Mass Air Meter
