Just finished skunk pro manifold install and TB.

Getting code 7 which refers to TPS.

Can someone tell me what color the TPS connector is, just to make sure i have right one connected.

Everythign else is purring along.

 

tested TPS, it is getting 5v signal from the ECU. I guess i will change it out as at this stage it looks TPS is dead

 

You need to make sure at 0 throttle its getting 0.50 Volts. If not it'll trip a TPS light. It should go from .5 to 5V on full throttle. I think the exact # is 0.45V but around that range should fix it

Try this first.

I dont think you can buy just a tps unless you get it out of a junk yard. I dont think it would just go bad either. Try what the other guy suggested and see what happens.

 

TPS was replaced (from junk yard). CEL code gone.

The plastic guide on the TPS had broken off

 

did you adjust the tps to read the proper volts? just cause the light is off, doesnt mean all is well...

 

how can you adjust the TPS to read the right volts, i could not seen any adjustment points that can be made ?

you installed the stock tps on the skunk2 tb correct? if i remember correctly, when i did mine, there was slots in the tps. all you have to do is loosen the screws slightly and turn the tps. i mean its only a mm or so u can turn it, but it made a BIG difference on the volt readings!

 

I installed the TPS on my RPM throttlebody. I did not get the skunk TB.

On the RPM TB i undid the screw at the end of the TB where the TPS fits into, but there was no adjustment in there. It was hard set, no room for adjustment.

 

the tps should be slotted where it bolts on. it should rotate a bit and that is how you adjust it.

it sounds like you took the screw out on the end of the shaft? maybe not but i'd be surprised if your tps wasnt slotted.

 

or are you talking about the screws that go through the TPS into the TB that need to be loosened and then you slide the TPS up or down a little ?

 

yup.

you need to get the voltmeter on there with it all hooked up, and the ignition on and rotate it to set it to the correct voltage.

thanks

 

ok i checked.

current setting was 0.64V at idle and 4.71V near enough to WOT.

AFter some stuffing about and seeing how sensitive it is i managed to get it to 0.53V at idle.

Will have another try to nail 0.5V tomorrow night

Thanks again guys

 

how are you guys checking the voltage??? did you just use wire taps and then pull readings off of those?

 

i used my hondata to tell me the voltage.

You can use multimeter across two pins on the D connector as well to measure the voltage

i used the moniter in my avc-r

 

ok got it as close as i will get it. At idle it floats between 0.49 V and 0.51V.

Car idles better than before as well.. so all is good.

once again thanks fastlude22 and rosko
