I'm not sure.

I had to mail in my aftermarket TPS for a warranty replacement, so I removed the TPS. I still could drive the car without problems. You may want to unplug the TPS.

The coolant temp sensor or ELD could cause your car to stall out. I'm not sure about that.

ok update on the low rpm death issue. i was poking around the engine bay (checking for blown fuses and what not.) and i looked in the vacinity of the map and tps. i noticed... there was nothing connected to the tps! so i located the wire for the tps that was hangin around and noticed that the tab on the tps itself was broken so the wire to the tps just kinda slipped off. (dont flame me for this next thing plz) being that the car ran like a champ once i reconnected the tps i put a lil dab of loc tite on the plug so it wouldnt slip off anymore.(if i give it a tug i can still disconnect it if the situation calls for it dont worry) so that fixed the stalling issue. so i have the vss in the mail and im going to need a header. lets see what else... oh an oem ps tail light (this ones cracked and there's a lake in it)

now next issue to solve: what are the two sensors that are located just underneith the distributor? because both are destroyed and need replacing.

Those would be the coolant temperature sensor and the temperature sending unit.

Sender for the gauge has 1 wire. Water temperature sensor for the ECU has 2 wires.
