Anyone have experience with error code PO 122 (TPS fault)? The symptoms are that all of a sudden, the throttle does NOTHING till you get it about 1/3 open, at which point it suddenly kicks in with uber-power. It's a pain on the freeway, but downright dangerous around town, what with the unintended wheelies and all.
Naturally, I was about to have my first trip out of town this weekend....
Any easy fixes, or is it off to the dealer and no fun this weekend for me?

you can try a TPS reset, key on engine of go wide open on the throttle then closed 3 times. also go into diag mode, and watch the tps reading as you roll onto the throttle

You left some important stuff out of your instructions.

Hold at each position for about a second.

Then turn the key off, then back on again.

Take your airbox base plate off & check your throttle linkages for proper smooth operation while reading the tps % in diag mode.

Thanks, guys.
I forgot to mention that I'd already tried the TPS reset (several times). Resetting it had no effect, but I'll try watching the TPS percentages as I observe the throttle bodies.
Wish me luck....
