I have posted the following in the Knowledge Vault -- I'm also putting it here to increase my chances... 2003 XB9S, 3000 miles (bought at a great price as a leftover a little over a year ago). Bone stock. Has always run perfectly, but on the way to work this morning, while sitting at a red light, I noticed that the idle (which is normally a touch over 1000 rpm) had dropped down to about 750-800 rpm. After that, it would intermittently "stumble" (a light miss, you might say) at part throttle between 2500-4000 rpm (both at cruise and during acceleration). Full throttle/high rpm seems okay, but maybe a little down on power. It did the same thing on the way home today. When I got home, out of sheer frustration, I bounced it off the rev limiter in neutral for a few seconds, and it poured an impressive cloud of black smoke. I'm hoping that all I need is a TPS reset, because I'd really rather avoid the long visit to the dealer for it to behave perfectly, or for them to give me the all-too-common run around. I'm still under warranty, and I even have the extended warranty. Ideas? Anyone live near San Antonio that can do the reset for a few Sam Adams? | ||

Before you do the TPS check your spark plugs. It sounds like you may have a fouled one. If so replace them. Cleaning them does nothing for them once they have fouled. | ||

Bump -- and a renewed request for someone in the San Antonio/Austin area that could do the TPS reset? |
