Re: hesitates, coughs, sputters, stalls 200 86

Seems you have possibly two problems:

The adjustment of the throttle plate and TPS. Adjusted properly, with teh engine off and you working the throttle cable cam, you should hear the TPS click twice -- when you manually open and when you close the throttle plate. Adjustment of the TPD requires a 3mm allen wrench (long model is easier)

and

a bad connection ot the temp sender or the sender itself.

OK, maybe three possiblities....

With a VOM/multimeter, you can run diagnostic tests at the FI/ECU on the passeger side to determine any electrical signal faults or component failures.

Vacuum leaks and a bad idelcontrol valve would be giving yo high/los idle of constantly high idle (like, 2500RPM)
