hi bob,

here is what i think on this. be sure to get other opinions.

tps is throttle position sensor. the tps is your throttle pedal. it is mounted on the underside of the pedal. with a tps error code, it should not shut your engine down or even depower. however, if it is intermittant enough, it can cause your throttle to go to idle no matter what you do with the pedal. if running vmspc it should show error code 94.

series 60's are know for having bad tps's. however, before you replace it, you should check all the connections from the pedal back and make sure they are clean and not corroded.

if you do a search on tps series 60 you will find a number of people having issues and it was a mixture of bad connections and the sensor itself.

i dont think you have to worry about anything blowing up, but rather just losing throttle control.

any other thought from the gang?
