1994 cant be adjusted.

I say the TPS because pumping the gas wouldnt shoot more fuel in, when you pump the gas your opening the butterfly valve on the throttle body more and the TPS than adjusts to those movements and increases fuel/air in conjunction with other parts.

That wouldnt cause a fuel delivery problem at startup.


IAC stands for Idle Air Controller, it does exactly what its called, controls the amount of air needed at idle.
