Just curious. Does hot, humid weather have a negative effect on the dyno? The hotter,thick air usually robs horse power correct? Just wondering if august might be a bad time of year for this but i could be wrong.

Test your TPS sensor, it may have failed or have open/shorted windings. Likely needs replacement.
J,
is the TPS sensor the black plastic piece that sits on top of the MAF and which gets the plug into it?
any idea how to test the tps sensor?
d
the tps is the black curved plastic peice on the side of the throttle body. to test there should be a certain voltage when the throttle is clossed and it should range to a different value at WOT. sorry but I don't know the voltage values off hand

humid air is less dense than dry air
The answer to your question is yes, a hot humid day or any humid day for that matter is not the best choice of a day to do a dyno test on your engine, but since the test equipment compensates for the changes in performance realted to atmospheric conditions there is nothing to worry about.
