99 no start
My daughter reported the 99 wouldn't start. I notice a slow crank the other day so I assumed it was the battery.
I went to try it this morning and it would crank and crank but wouldn't try to start.
I remembered the TPS issue we had a year (or more) ago. I tried starting it by giving it gas. It started, ran rough and then lined out. Wouldn't hold an idle though.
After running it a couple of minutes it started idling.
I have a new IAC so since I hear this is the most common cause for bad or no idle I swapped in the other one.
With the throttle body off I did clean it with throttle body cleaner.
With the throttle body off I did notice this...

Blow by? Normal or not? Have not noticed any smoking.
I had the original TPS so I put that one on and it starts, idles low for 2 to 3 seconds and then idles normal.
I'm thinking I need to replace the TPS.

Re: 99 no start
I agree with the TPS being wonky, replaced mine with a orielly BDS(i think) brand about 5 times and finally got one from the stealership and the issues stopped.
Not sure about the contamination in the intakemanifold

Re: 99 no start
Matt said he was running the lifetime warentee BWD TPS from Oreily's. Frankly until the post above I didn't know this wasn't a dealer item!
Replaced it a few moments ago. Starting and idle is back to normal.
