Message	I went through most of the hesitation faq, (everything except spark plugs) but the tps is what made the big change. The Z feels like its a brand new car, the revs and idle is so smooth now, amazing! Throttle cable was a little loose too, so I tightened it. Car is slightly faster but the stock boost gauge is not pegged like it used to be. (one guy changed the plugs and said it made his boost gauge back to being pegged). I pulled some plugs for inspection and they looked fine from the pictures that show what fine is. Btw I couldnt get the plug out of the deep hole once I loosened it, so I came up with the idea of starting the car ... the compression shot the plug right out of the hole into the air and it lands on/around the plenum. Just wanted to share. Feels good.
