I have an '88 Buick LeSabre which is running rough. I had the car put on the computer and the printout came back with these error codes:

Vehicle scanned: 1988 Buick LeSabre C=3.8L PFI (3800)

Diag. Trouble codes

History Code 22
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Signal voltage is too low

Let me know what is involved with this repair. I will change out the sensors in question. I would appreciate knowing what snags I may run into beforehand. I will have the tools and the repair manuals on hand when I do this repair.

Thanks!

I would change the cam sensor and clear the codes and see what happens next!

I'll go with that and see what happens. BTW, the Haynes manual said to check for a missing magnet on the cam sprocket, however if that was missing, I don't think the car would even start.

The vehicle runs, but I don't want to take it far or go over 45.
