More fuel does NOT mean its going to make your car faster.

Your throttle position sensor? From when I installed it theres only one way to put it on. And if you bought a skunk 2 tb it is already calibrated. Find out your cel code, fix it, and it will not run sluggish.

Please do not derail tech threads with off topic comments. While I don't classify these posts as flaming, such comments should also be accompanied by an attempt to help with the tech problem. Otherwise, they don't serve a very good purpose.

You need to calibrate output voltages from the TPS. Also immediately pull the CEL codes. Click the CEL link in my signature.

0.5V closed throttle, 4.5V WOT

Seriously, before you make anymore posts, jump the service connector to pull the codes. Then post them.

What car?

Default Re: OBD2 B16 -- can a throttle body sensor make a car run slow

ok i cant find the jumper wire so i used my obd 2 scanner tool and the code are tps and air idle control...

ok so this is what i did changed to a brand new air idle control and the adjust the tps.

this is how i did it turn the car to on position adjust w.o.t 4.50v and closed was 0.32 volts. and i turn the car on and it was still the same 0.32 i adjust the idle screw on the throttle body and no luck am i doing something wrong?

Post the two OBD2 codes.

Or are the codes now gone?

this is how i did it turn the car to on position adjust w.o.t 4.50v and closed was 0.32 volts. and i turn the car on and it was still the same 0.32 i adjust the idle screw on the throttle body and no luck am i doing something wrong?
The correct calibration procedure is to adjust the voltage to 0.5V at closed throttle and then to check that the voltage is around 4.5V at WOT.

Yes. First adjust closed to 0.5V and then just check the WOT voltage.

How are you adjusting your TPS?

an .45v closed and 4.5v WOT is probably the best you will be able to get.

just askin; you did change the TB gasket with a new one when you installed the Sk2 TB, yea?
