Bad fuel gauge & rough idle

I changed my TPS and cleaned my TB. I reconnected everything and started it up. Now i have what seems to be a misfire. My gas needle drops when i accelerate and goes up when i idle. I idle at 3rpm but when i push out my clutch a bit it drops to 2rpm. I cant go past 4rpm.. does anyone have an idea what it could be? Thank you in advance!

Re: Bad fuel gauge & rough idle

why did you change the tps? it probably now requires calibration ...

Re: Bad fuel gauge & rough idle

True, TPS is a the last part to remove when trying to fix something. Domin8, the last part of this video shows you how to calibrate your new one; I can't recall the specs, but perhaps they are on this site for your year and model. It's a little bit like setting your distributor up right for ignition timing that is in spec.
