Didn't make it to the parts store in time today. I did, however, clean the throttle position sensor up, and did the "suck on it" test for the MPS. The MPS held vacuum, no problem. I test drove it, and it's as bad as it was before. I put my foot to the floor, and it just putputputputputputputputputs until I get it up to about 15-20mph (as long as there isn't an up grade) and then it takes off like there's no problem.

The plan for tomorrow is still to check the fuel stuff, and check the fuel line I put in last weekend for obstructions, even though this problem started on Thursday.
