These symptoms fit my buddys car to a T. He has already replaced the TPS, IAC, and some other sensors.


He recently bought the notch in this video, the silver one. His car will idle around 8-900 one minute, the next it will be around 1500. Then it will start surging from 500 to 1500 or 1000 to 2000 and eventually shut itself off.

I'm going to suggest that he check the EGR now.
