Today I disconnected the TPS electrical harness and started the car with the intention of adjusting the idle screw but the car just stalled after a few seconds. Each time I turned the key, it would come on for a second or two, then drop to 50-100 RPM, then stall. From what I read on this forum, the car should continue to run even when the TPS is disconnected. Would this be an indication of a bad IACV?
