It happened again! I finally figured out it is related to the Throttle position sensor. Does anyone know where the TPS Circuit A is located? Is it by the Gas Pedal or the Throttle body? TIA

There are two TPS. One is at the front of engine by oil filter. The other is under the air box. Most people replace the one on the front of engine. There are a thread where TPS goes out after dead battery.

Thanks Rob

I researched but most of the TPS sensor issues was related to idling and performance issues (without SES light). I got the SES code (P120) but the car seems to run normal without any roughness or hesistation. Anyhow, i might as well go ahead, replace the front sensor and see what happen (only $55). Thanks again
