Acceleration problem has me stumped

engine light....
no. the engine light is not on
the abs brake is, but thats cause i disconnected the sensors at the wheel assembly a while ago... I hate abs. Mine were especially touchy and prone to activate on dry pavement. but that doesnt matter for this discussion.
but yeah, no engine light...

you would want to hook up a multimeter to check the voltage as you move the throttle by hand. If it'* inconsitant or drops or increases significantly with a small ammount of movement the sensor is bad. I do not remember which wires to hook the meter up to but another member should chime in with the correct procedure. I'd look it up on a search here but I have to get ready for work-sorry!
