TPS? have you checked to see when the last time the Throttle Body was cleaned? They are extremely easy to take off and check. Just make sure you have another gasket because that one will probably break on you. My TB is only held on by 2 bolts with a 13mm head [in case you have the 420A engine]

not really. they aren't scrawny in the least. the fact that they have a 13mm head, they're stout. lol.

I'll definitely get some pics of the Venge up as soon as I can get her started again, right now she is not worthy and the one in my sig will suffice, for me now anyhow   .  Thanks Shiano for the TB suggestion, I will for sure clean that just for fun.


Update: Where I'm at now is no spark (coil pack, plugs and wires are good), no fuel (pump doesn't prime, no voltage at the pump), CmPS and CkPS seem to be ok (didn't get a chance to put my meter to it but the connect was good), TPS voltage and resistance were out of range so that will get replaced and I changed out the ASD and fuel pump relays...still nothing, just crank crank crank  .  Noticed that the Venge hasn't thrown any CEL's at all, even with the CmPS and CkPS disconnected and also doesn't flip on when I turn the ignition to the ON position which is leading me to think bad PCM (big shocker there huh?, 95 auto 420a). 

Tomorrow I am ripping the dash apart to make sure the CEL bulb isn't burnt and go from there.  Oh yeah, it's getting really deep now, but I still love my crazy Venge.

Also, I did show this thread to my better half and she wasn't all that bent about it, amazingly enough.  But I did take her and her sister to a sushi place (nasty sh*t, but not as nasty as I thought it would be) later that night for bribery purposes, getting back into good graces, etc.

I will keep you guys updated for sure, hopefully the car is just retarded and not broken.

You mean parkensins?
