I will be adjusting my TPS in the morning. I adjusted it once before and want to make sure I did it right the first time (check, check and double check).
I have the tech. article from Pelican and it makes perfect sense to me, however I have read that an analog meter might work better than my digital meter, Is this the case? Are there any tips or tricks that anyone has? It is a good part that I bought new a few months back so there are no issues with the unit. Thanks for any info (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |

QUOTE I always had trouble holding the probes to the terminals. ...I noticed the digital meters always jump all over the place.... just try to get as close to zero as yoiu can Its too simple, you just need the TPS test plug that I sell. See my wiring harness webpage. Sorry for the blatant self-promotion. Using a DMM is clearly the best tool...because they have a beep mode, where continuity is indicated by a beep sound. That is really all you are doing by 'calibrating' it. You are setting the position of the TPS where the idle contacts switch from open to closed...which signals the ECU when to take over. Jeff |
