i got a 97 paseo....its a auto, and i think its pushing about 110000 miles...i think

ok...here it goes

lets say i got the car running, and i stutter it out, normally it would stutter at 6000+ rpms, but now it stutters at 5000, its a wicked stutter, and everytime i would drive it, it would die after about 2 minutes of driving so i replace the plugs, both coil pack, fuel pump, fuel filter, and air filter...and didnt fix it....so then i replaced the ecu....and it stuttered at 6000+ rpms again...and drove it around the block a time or 2, beating the hell out of it ran fine...so i parked it knowing i was gonna have to park the s14 for a while...well when i went to park the 14, and drive the paseo, after i let it warm up for a minute or so, i hit the stutter for s***s and giggles...and it hit 5000 with a mean stutter again...

so what im getting to is are both of my ecus gone? or messed up...or what is wrong with it....please someone help....i really need this car to run so i can get ready for the drift season this year....

if yall want hit me up on my e-mail, i check it a lot... drifter_style@yahoo.com

thanks

90% sure its the TPS. You can check it with a multimeter.

throttle position sensor, its the black thing on the throttle body next to the intake tube, held on by 2 screws, has 3-4 wires hooked to from the harness.
