For your year 21 should be the TPS, and 66 should be Low refigerant..... Need someone with a 93 service manual to verify

I'm quite sure almost 100% really.... 66 is for a low refrigerant charge...

22 is for TPS high voltage indicated...

If you had a knock sensor code it would be a code 43

The EST( Electronic Spark Timming ) Circuit would be a code 42...

I just want someone with a 93 Service manual to verify so that we are 100% sure...

A bad TPS can make the car do some not so happy things, and affecting the idle is one of them...

Should be just the sensor, but you may have to remove the throttle body to be able to replace the sensor... If you have to remove it than it would be a good idea to get a new gasket and do a through cleaning of the throttlebody
