Good day, good people. I refuelled my car, a 2007 Honda accord last week. The malfunction indicator came on about two days later,and a scan brought a code, P2138, showing there was a problem with the TPS. The car stalls and also jerks when shifting from gear 1 to 2 while in motion, and when the gear stick is shifted to R or from R while stationary.

Now, two of my office vehicles, both of them, Toyota had issues after buying fuel from the same source earlier that week, so that the fuel pump of one of them had to be changed.

Each time I reset the engine with the scanner, the light comes up in 5mins or less.

Could it be possible that it is the bad fuel that could be affecting the engine while the system is throwing a code p2138 that has to do with the TPS?

Please, I await your responses and suggestions. Thank you.

Don't tamper anyhow with your TPS, its an "experienced technician only" serviceable part.
Thanks.

If it is the first pic, disconnect the socket and check for corrosion and re-install you might be lucky.

thanks. My engine is a four cylinder engine. I removed the socket and sprayed with electrical contact cleaner two days ago. Nothing changed

What did you spray. Your car has gone into" limp home mode" actual values on your scan tool would help out.
