Hello, my grandson just purchased this vehicle and I put the scanner on it, and it said the throttle position sensor A has a low circuit. The car starts and runs for about two minutes and quits.

Hi Mark,

There is a chance the TPS is causing the issue. Could you let me know the specific code you retrieved? Also, if you keep your foot lightly on the throttle, will it continue to run? Also, which engine does it have, the 3.4L or the 3.8L?

Let me know.
