remembered another thing...when i shifted from 2nd to 3rd, my car jumped a little like the transmission stuck or something. it did the same thing from 3rd to 4th. then it died. a tried starting it with the key while it was rolling, nothing. and i tried popping the clutch out in 1st and it still didnt start.

try resetting the ecu and do a fresh diagnostic

have you unplugged the coil, ignitor, afm etc recently?

check your grounds also... lower intake manifold... make sure they've got good contacts

i had lots of oil in my #6 spark plug. so i replaced the valve cover gaskets, plugs, and wires. it runs great now. fix the problem i had with morning start up too. i know i need a new tps and i have it on order. every time i push in the clutch my rpms drop to zero and it dies. will the new tps fix this problem?
