Check engine light is not illuminated. That's the only time I faced that problem. Where is Throttle Position Sensor located?disallow wrote:probably a blip with the Throttle Position Sensor. I would check for any loose connectors under the hood.
Is the check engine light illuminated? If so, you should get the error code and share with the forum.

Hi,smj999smj wrote:The TPS is part of the TAC (throttle control actuator), located at the front of the intake plenum. Even with the MIL "off," you still might want to check for stored trouble codes. Accelerating with the cruise "on" would not, or should not, cause a problem and if the cruise was set to "off" at the time, I can't see it being a cruise control problem. There have been some grounding issues in mid-90's Nissans (Pathfinder, included). This would be indicated by a CAN system trouble code, accessible with a higher end scantool (and not be a generic code reader). You would need the freeze frame data, as well, to confirm this with the TSB on the issue. For now, if no generic OBDII codes are found, I wouldn't worry too much about it unless the issue re-occurs.
