Okay well heres my problem. Car wont start. Now I have posted a few new post already on this web site about my TPS. It seemed to be the problem. Well I was coming home from work last night and my car was running like complete shit. I pulled over and I unplugged a sensor. Not to sure what sensor it is but let me try and explain it. I went to RealOEM.com and looked at the diagrams. Its not the throttle vavle switch which is on the throttle housing and its not the mas air flow sensor. Its a plugs that in between those 2 sensors. The one I unplugged is actually really close to the throttle vavle switch. But the sensor that I did unplug is in between those 2 plugs. Not sure what its called. I looked all over RealOEM.com and I couldnt find it. But anyways after I unplugged it the car ran great. Drove it to a gas station before I went home. Turned the car off, went in the store, turned the car back on with no problems and then I went home. This morning I went to go start the car and it wont start at all. Just keeps cranking. I had a friend come take a look at it and he thinks that the motor might be flooded. What I wana know is what f*cking sensor did I unplug and why the hell would it flood the motor? Thanks alot guys.

Its pretty difficult to flood a fuel injected engine. I doubt that is the case. but just for the hell of it...to clear out a flooded engine you hold the throttle wide open and crank it over.. you could give that a shot.

If you can, check to see if you have spark and fuel pressure.

what u need to do is check for gas and spark. it could be crank sensor or fuel pump. whats the mileage?
