Frank:
 Clear the codes after you replaced the CID and see if they come back. With
the miles on your car I would go ahead and replace the TPS. It's pretty
cheap and easy to get at. One problem I had was my car (93 ATX) did not like
the TPS I installed until I matched the part number on the old TPS itself.

> I got my first "check engine" light last Monday (at 152,xxx miles).  It
came on while cruising on the freeway, then went off about 15 seconds later.
I didn't notice any ill effects.  Then a few days later it went on again,
and this time I noticed a bit of roughness in the way it ran.  The light
went through a few cycles of on and off, each time staying on for about
10-20 seconds.  I ran the codes tonight, and came up with continuous codes
124 and 214.  I replaced the original cid sensor for the 214 (figured it was
about time for it to go bad).  The 124 indicates "TP circuit output higher
than expected".  Any comments on what to do about this one?  Am I having a
problem with my TPS reports? ; )
