I still think you have a manualized valve body that's causing the issue.A manualized valve body has no automatic changing functions at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your auto is the problem.Who built it?I'm not sure how a faulty TPS sensor would cause what you're describing. A scan of the car would show a TPS fault if there was one.
