    Default VN V6 running rough

    Hey fellas, i have a VN 6 that running pretty rough- sounds like volkswagon and feels like its driving over a road made of corrugated iron. It's sluggish, idles ok and still does 100Kpa
    No smoke and not running hot although seems like more heat is thrown out from underneath the car.
    Yesterday i replaced the MAP sensor when i read i had a code 33 error. After replacement the car ran sweet and i only got a code 12 after resetting the computer.
    Tonight i was driving, all fine then it started running crap just like yesterday, felt like i was running out of fuel and now i get a code 22- TPS.

    Could a TPS cause a car to run this bad?
    Could a stuffed cat cause the car to run bad? The reason i ask is there seems to be a bit moor heat under the car and a strange hot smell..........Cheers
