Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure or the filter to make sure it isn't plugging?

Actually, it sounds like a throttle position sensor, but I need to know if the light has come on.

Let me know.

The check engine light has not been on, I dought it is the fuel filter because it is located on the pump and is little more than a screen you said something about a throttled positioning sensor, where is that located at?
