The TPS was broken when I bought it. Replaced it, and now it responds to the throttle again

Also cleaned the throttle body, that was very necessary. As was the oil change. But most appalling of all was the engine coolant. That was just brown sludge. I flushed it for ages, but brown still kept coming out so I'll change it again in the near future.

I'm pretty sure the coolant was not oil contaminated, so that's good. But damn, previous owner, dare to change your fluids once in a while!

All done. That's the last time I'm going to do wiring for a long time.

painted the entire frame with some sweet black tractor implement paint that works great. I also removed the spare tire and replaced the fuel driver control module

What about all those engine problems you had?
