Why does my car swerve when I let off the gas?
Pulling to one side can be caused by worn or loose suspension components, or even a brake issue. Worn suspension components can also be a cause. If components like ball joints or control arm bushings are worn, they can allow movement in suspension components under different loads – on or off the gas pedal.
Can a car stall with a bad throttle position sensor?
The engine can stall for no reason and without any warning. This happens when the TPS gives incorrect information to the ECM. The engine can stall at high speed, at low speed, or even at idle. A faulty throttle position sensor will not let your car accelerate normally. Though this doesn’t happen all the time.
What happens when you let off the throttle?
Not uncommon, should happen when decelerating in gear, the explosions aren’t as violent, and don’t get as much gas burned, so left-overs happen.
How is the throttle connected to the accelerator?
In the old days, there used to be a cable that was connected from the throttle to the accelerator. But now in the technological age, the car’s computer controls when the throttle opens and closes by the feedback it gets about the acceleration of the vehicle.
What causes exhaust to pop when letting off throttle?
Plugged slow jets not uncommon (and that can cause other major problems. If the bike never did it, sat a long time and started popping, that’s more of a possibility). Incorrect air screw settings can sometimes cause it, I’ve been able to tune it out (or hide it..) with an air screw adjustment in some cases.

How much does it cost to replace a throttle position sensor?
If you need to have your throttle position sensor replaced, the cost will depend on the type of car you have. But the average cost of this replacement job isn’t that expensive. The parts will cost you between $75 and $130 on average. The labor costs will be anywhere between $60 and $90, depending on the hourly rate of the mechanics.
