Iv checked the cadilitic converter, the distributor, plugs, wires, burton, fuel pump, fuses, timing, the air intake (mass flow air sensor, air filter.) And it never has time to get hot.
PLEASE HELP!

What do you mean by running rough?
Is it the idling speed is too low?
Is the Check Engine Light showing?

Symptoms indicates a possible fault with the TPS and after resetting, it might take some time for it to come back, depending on condition. It is best to monitor if the TPS is working correctly with the aid of scan tools.
