Omfg
You cannot just replace the sensor-its part of the TB. Which is $663.55 + 7.14 for the gasket. Well I am SOL, thats wayyy more than I was hoping for. I will order an OBDII reader and verify this before even thinking of doing that, just my luck-f*ck me

Sorry to hear about your problems.
Sorry to hear about your problems.
That place should be burned down. Thanks for the suggestion though. So will any used TB work on my car? Or does it have to be year specific?
a few suggestions.
based on my past experience with boosted cars, here's a couple scenarios.
the surging on throttle could be leaky pipes on the turbine inlet. So somewhere between the headers and the turbo might be a leak.
As for the stalling, the bov is recirc'd, isn't it? with the tnetics kit? I'm not positive, just asking, as the MAF can flip out sometimes and stall (but it's draw through, so this shouldn't be the case)....or perhaps there's a leak in the throttle body itself or gaskets or the plenum somewhere, which would allow metered air to escape and therefore the MAF would go all whacky and cause the car to stall.
Just from my experience those are a couple possible causes. I had the surging before, and that was from a leak in the turbo manifold/head bolt up. A simple gasket replacement made it 100% better.......and on the stalling, a new clamp (or possibly in your case, new gaskets) might fix it. Or checking the torque of the plenum as you had to remove it for the injectors.
did you put on new gaskets when you reassembled the plenum?
just some suggestions to prevent you having to buy a new tb.

BTW was looking up used TB's on www.car-parts.com As cheap as $150 and up....so thats an alternative. Im waiting on Jims call back to see if you can use any year TB with any year Z. I may just go ahead and buy a bored TB.

This could be your lucky day. There is a guy selling one on ebay

good luck

If something like the TB chamber/TPS inside fails wouldnt it stay like that? I reset the ecu by leaving the battery unplugged, and now it seems fine. I know the problem will return though, so I guess I have to go drive it.....btw thanks for the link twodown
yeah, if you reset the battery and the problem isn't still there, it doesn't sound like it's a permanent thing....if the part was bad the problem would always be there.......

I was getting a CEL, but after res-setting the ECU, I figured the problem would come back immediately but I guess not. Last time it took about 3 miles of driving to get the car to drop to idle and make me lose throttle input. And that was after I did the TB resets....I think its weird it wont automatically throw a CEL even after resetting the ecu. Tomorrow Im ordering an OBDII reader/software from www.digimoto.com Ill pull the codes before purchasing another TB
