Going down the road or sitting in the garage holding the throttle at about 1400 rpm or so, ( rpms dont mater) the engine cuts out (skips)

The analyzer shows codes 22 &34 , TPS & MAP replaced both and still does it. And still shows 22 &34. After clearing codes and running again.
Checked vacume lines found a couple spots that were rubbed thin but not thru put some tape on the spots to see if it were a possible leak no change.

I cant find a shrader valve to chack the fuel press. So how do I go about doing that?

Pulling my hair out at this point and the wife is pissed I havnt fixed her car yet!

Your missing the 5 volt refference signal on the to sensors. That gray wire must have 5 volts out of the pcm to the sensor

What are the chances it is both wires to the sensors as opposed to being the pcm bad?

I have another one of those cars I swapped computers, same problem.

So I tried moving the wire harness where it comes out of the fire wall while it was running and it smoothed out, so I guess I just have to figure out which wire and where it is bad.
And there is SOOO much room to work in there this is going to be fun.

Thank You for all the help !
