TPS? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with all the English abriviations...In the
mean time I checked all 3 temp sensors, as I had a few spares...no
difference, the car still runs too rich and misfires above 1700 RPM's....I
disconnected the oxigen sensor, same thing...
The key thing is I think, the misfiring above 1700 rpm...I am starting to
think it must be the fuel regulator...
BTW, I noticed a crack in one of my knock sensors, could that be it?
Anyway thank you very much for your input so far...

Fedor
