I am using around 20% more fuel than a nicely tuned version of the same rig.
I just changed out my TPS, and I calibrated with a digital (jeesu!) meter. Let me say that *isn't* the way to go, prolly. Is there a possibility that the TPS is on the idle switch, but just (high) out enough to enrich the mixture that much? I'm having a ball working on my own car, and I am getting better results than the local mechanics, I only have one kind of car to deal with, and I love that kind of car. I owe so much to the people who have BTDT. Thanks, as always. Miles |

i've spent numerous hours repeatedly calibrating my TPS with a digital multimeter. took a few tries to get it right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
what i found was that the TPS needed to be rotated not 1, but 3 hash marks Clockwise (after reading 0 ohms) before it would run correctly. just setting it 1 mark CW made it run real lean, popping on decel, etc. since then, the MPS has been reset correctly (it was leaning), so i think i might redo the TPS and see what i get -- maybe one mark is okay now ??? nathan |
