no throttle

So ill be driving along shift gears(6 spd) and all of a sudden there is no throttle respons.wait a few seconds and everything is fine again. Only does it once in a while. If you press the clutch while this is happening it just idles. Im thinking peddle assemble. Used a buddys code reader and it shows no codes. thanks for any help

Sounds like the TPS. If you have an E99 you have to replace the entire pedal assembly. I am on my 3rd in 150,000 miles.

Pulled the peddle and put the multimeter on the idle switch witch was not always making contact. hosed it out with contact cleaner and all seems to be fine now. Quess its time to go vist the dealership for parts tomorrow. Tried Napa and Lordco and both don't have parts even though its a late 99. Thank god we have a great dealers here. Still going to hurt the beer budget though.

It sounds like you may have bought yourself some time. I would get a hold of "Parts Guy Ed" and order a new TPS just in case.
