Hi, 0.53 closed 4.44 WOT is the best i can set a no brand tps. Is this okay?

Are you measuring the terminals of the TPS? If yes, isn't the spec in (k)Ohms, not Volts?

It's fine.

Hi Carlos,

One thing you might check is your digital multimeter. You might verify your DC Voltage on a known good source, i.e. a brand new name brand AA battery. If your meter reads 1.2V exactly, then you can be confident in your 0.53V reading. The low reading is the more critical of the two readings of the TPS from my understanding.

I am wondering if your 0.53V reading might be off from the digital multimeter.

If your new AA name brand battery reads 1.25V on your meter then your 0.53 is actually 0.48V

Brand new Energizer AA 1.5v My multimeter reads 1.56v What that's means?

Means your TPS is much closer to spec than you think. This also assumes the battery is perfect. It is the best "reference" voltage I could think of to find a multimeters variance on the low DC Volt setting.

Lets say the battery is perfect, it means your meter reads .06v high. 0.53 volt minus 0.06 volt is 0.47 volt which is almost perfectly to spec for your TPS. Your aftermarket TPS is fine like Ron said.

In reality, you need something like this if you want to be absolutely sure where your meter sits in it's readings though:

Take the car out for a test and now its stalling coming to stops. No matter if is slow or making a pull, if not press the clutch and give it gas it die. TPS have to do with this or i'm looking for another issue?

You have other issues.

OK, just cleaned the IACV and it's idling perfect.
