Typically mine starts fine, stalls as soon as I take my foot off the gas after backing out of my parking space, and then starts right up again and off I go, with an initial stumble coming off idle. Well, last week we had perhaps the coldest night here since I got the car two years ago, and when it stalled that time, it refused to restart - cranking but no go. I got out and poked around a bit, after a while I tried opening and snapping shut the throttle from under the hood, and then it finally started up - so I assumed the TPS has been the culprit all along. Perhaps it's not so simple though... Thanks for the info!
