        That doesn't sound very good at all. The throttle position sensor (
TPS ) is almost an annual replacement item for me. Severe weather will do
that sort of thing but also the TPS in the Nissan Sentra ( Throttle body
injection ) is a rather poor design. I took one apart and you can easily see
the throttle position for the speeds you normally drive. Just look for the
dips in the track where it is worn out. It usually takes me longer to
convince the dealer whats wrong that for them to fix it.
