Default touchy tps??

ok so the motor idles fine now, lsvtec, just cleaned out iacv and ficv's, but after the throttle is touched and closes again it drops almost like its gonna stall, then back up again.....

....i think the head gasket leaks too, from a small oil drip on the upper side of the transmission.....SHITTY....

i've tried tightening the idle screw, and adjusting the tps little by little, but without a voltometer its tough....

but idles ok, a little on the high side, when vtecs engaged blows blue smoke...and idles a little white....

Adjusting the tps sensor without a meter is impossible.. Just go to radio shack and get their $20 meter and then you can adjust it properly..

Definately, you would be surprised at how much the TPS voltage changes by merely tightening down the attachments screws.

I remember it was a pain in the *** to get it to .45 volts when tightened down..

Now I run the AEM EMS where you can calibrate the tps throught the software..

VAFC does not calibrate for it, only reads it
