The throttle positioner is a linear potentiometer, sometimes 2 pots ganged
together (turbo II's and 89-92 6 ports). If the plunger sticks or the pot has
an open spot, the car will normally fall flat on it's face during
acceleration. Another symptom of a problematic TP is that the engine will
"hunt" at idle and oscillate in rpm. Many times the problem is a simple
adjustment. The screw is right out in front and very tempting to play with.
This is why many of them get moved out of adjustment. Without the zeroing
light tool, it is almost impossible to set correctly.
