okay so i have a code savin throttle angle.. is this the TPS and it if is ive tried everything and the code won't go off.. its a dpfi to mpfi d16 engine and i switched the 2 wires.. do i need to get a new TPS?

 

Does it give you any drivabilty issues? does it stumble a lil on acceleration?

 

nope

 

bump im stumped.........

 

so your getting .5 volts off the middle red wire?

 

dono.. should i be?

 

bump

 

umm yeah you need to test the voltage on the red middle wire, that is how you adjust your tps

 

okay so say its at .9 volts at idle... then how do i adjust it?

 

it is better to do it with just the key on not running. To adjust it you need to loosen the 2 bolts holding it on, then turn it till you reach .5. After than tighten the 2 bolts and the test it at WOT (why it is better to have the motor NOT running ) and you should be at 4.5. After this reset the ecu and start it and if there is a CEL after that and the same code, then you have everything correct on the tps and need to check the voltage going into the ecu. But first adjust it and reset the ecu

Bringing this back b/c I'm having similar problems. I tried to take readings from the middle red wire and I just get 0.1. Even if i move the tps around I still get 0.1. Could a goofy ground (eg the ground from the head to the chassis) cause this, OR am I not doing something right?
