(of course, this should be done while the car engine is off and the car is not moving, in case you tried to strap yourself to a moving car to see if the plate opened 100%.) Usually I just observe the TB's wheel to see if it touches the stop that usually gives it 100% TPS opening. (which is why this is first for me, since I don't need to open anything.)if it does, then take the car out for a run (this one is by feel, during this stage ask a guy to observe the exhaust when you're going full throttle for black or whitish blue smoke. This will give hints on the condition of your engine. check if pickup improves without a/c or not.. if turning on a/c and the car feels very sluggish, it's probably the a/c..), check belts to see if they're too tight (they usually make sound if they are) if not, then come back and check the plugs. How to they look like? Are they corroded? have the insulators turned brown? Is there too much carbon that your plugs come out black? For proper reading, take a pull to the red line, let off the throttle, (slow down to a stop.. don't rev it, or plug reading may not be accurate.) if you don't know how to read plugs, take photoes of the plugs, and the tips, and I can roughly tell how the condition is like.at this point, you can also write down your findings and ask your mech, or ask here. I can try help you as much as possible, but without looking at the car, I can only guess roughly.</blockquote>

I've come across some idlyiing problem lately, and it is not due to the aircond being switched on. Also the clutch isn't depressed. Tried adjusting the idlying knob but not much effect also.

So happens the car dies...
