Would the throttle position sensor on a 1997 chevy cavalier 2.2 cause it to start hard in the morning

I doubt it.
The main symptom with a faulty TPS is lack of acceleration.
And the check engine light should be on if the sensor is not functioning.
Long crank time in the morning is usually low fuel pressure.

Doesn't start

It sounds like it has jumped time. What year is the car and how many miles. Timing chains can go bad as early as 70,000 miles

99 chevy silverado running rough and stalling.

the problem you are discribing would lead me to belive your fuel filter is clogged which is a simple fix 3 dollar part at any part store or on the worse hand your fuel pump itself could be weak you can open the gas tank cover and have another person turn the truck key to the on position without going far enough to start you will hear a faint whining noise if it is going bad or a louder noise if it is fine Good Luck

I have a 1997 Chevy Silverado. First gear doesnt work??

If trans fluid is full, it's shot. You could remove pan and check to see if filter is blocked but if fluid smells burned and there is a lot of debris in pan, don't bother with it...just get another one!

1997 chevy silverado 3500 with 454 engine won't start. New battery, new fuel filter, spark plugs good, fuel pump is okay. It turns over fine, but it just won't start. When it does start, it runs fine,...

We found the problem by taking the truck to the dealership, after spending $550.00 on parts and having everything we could remove tested or we purchased them new and replaced them. We spent two weeks on it and took it to Chevrolet but it took them three days after all we had done, the problem turned out to be the gear on the distributor, sure we replaced every part in it but because we could not get the distributor out with the intake on it we had not even considered the gear, thanks for your assistance and maybe we'll try you again next time....Thanks again.
