i just installed a bbk throttle body in my b16 with (aebs intake manifold) and it threw a code of #7 and its the tps sensor i bought a new one but it still did it and now my idling is all mess up like ill drive then when i stop my rpm is stuck in 3000 to 4000 rpm but if i revv it to red line it goes back to 1000 rpm if anyone knows please help me out.... thanks

please someone help

 

did you calibrate it?

 

how do u calibrate it? cuz my brother is having same problem with 65 MM Edlebrock on GSR

 

alright hatchonarun... that TPS sensor... you can move it like back and forth... well try moving it alittle bit and screw it down and unplug your negitive battery so your ecu will clear out.. keep on doing til that check light will come on NO MORE... thats just a tip to you i've had a friend with the same problem and thats all i did for him.. good luck!

 

thanks alot i appreciate it. ill try it in a few and ill let u know

you have the right idea but not quite...the tps sensor gives out specific voltages wich change depending on how its moved. There is a exact voltage it should read though, you have to get a volt meter and move it till you get the right reading then tightnen it down. get a haynes or helms manual they explain the exact process i cant remember of the top of my head, its two different readings one at idle and one full throttle.

 

how do u do the voltmeter where do u hook it up and procedures pleassee.... thanks again

 

yes u need to recalibrate the tps. Get a volt meter and hook it up to the red/black wire on the tps. Turn the key to the on position. With the throttle close adjust it untill its at .5 volts. Tighten and then test WOT. WOT should be 4.5volts.

 

nice one mrmike i could'nt have said it better.

Ya, what he said

 

i did wat u guys told me but there is a slight difference with mine, first i set my tps sensor to 4.5v on wot and it started revving so high with check engine light on that i have to shut off my car then i set it up with 4.5v on idle then it started fine no more check engine light i dont know whats wrong with my car everyone told me to do what you guys said but i did backwards is there any explanation for this???

another thing i test drove the car seems fine got a lil bit more power to it but sometimes my rpm gets stuck on around 2000 - 2500 rpm then if i revved it to like 7000 - 8000 rpm it goes back just below 1000. the bbk throttle body didnt come with a idle control valve that you can adjust and it seems like the thing yoou put the throttle cable is locking... any suggestion on how or what to lube it up with...

thanks again to all of you for your help...
but i gotta say one thing "tps sensor is a biatch and the best way to this is a voltmeter along with tylenol"

try setting it with the car not running

-alex

 

i did set it before i started the car, (i set it up first, then started the car and its started going crazy at me?) my question is "is there any explanation y my car is reverse than the ones you guys were telling me?

 

make sure to caliberate it
