Bandit'* Surging/Poor Idle
Sitting in Bandit'* 94 SE at a light the car will all of a sudden dip down about 300 rpms then come right back and do this a few times.
Driving seems to be fine, idling out of gear appears good.
Plugs and wires a pretty new and not a suspect at this time.
I'm thinking it'* possibly a dirty sensor, where should he start?

Let me clear it up just a bit
Its not at a idle its when sitting at a light or what not and i hold the brake or start to take off and give it a little gas it will chug/sputter and stuff.
Also im still having that Chugging.sputtering problem at speed when giving it a little gas to go up a hill.
I think its a TPS. Cuz it always seems to be around the same amount of throttle :?
*edit- The plugs and wires where done like 15K ago or so, NKG and AC delco wires.

Here'* the PDad link to adjusting.
Don't adjust it, only use the part of how to check the readings. Report back your findings..

If the TPS goes bad the idle on these cars can get very screwy... The TPS is used for fuel calibration, Engine Load, as well as it being used as the Kickdown signal ( Falls into engine load )... If the TPS is not happy the shifts could be a bit off and quirky... I have seen a couple actually loose the kickdown signal.... Not pretty when crawling a hill with your foot on the floor and get no shift( manual downshifting comes into play )...
I'd say the best way to look at the TPS is with a scantool.... But a digital multimeter will work...
