The ECM resets the IAC valve when the car is The dash pot is the cold start, fast idle device, (short duration 3 to 30 seconds (30 is in Alaska). The 8V factory TPS data pages: Anything over 80% is acceptable and in this example its 92.9% as you can see in both the Dash and Sensor Data display. All EFI engines like this go lean if the driver punches the throttle, all do (dead TPS), ( due to that slug of air is INSTANT) then the AIR meter sees the change late. Open ground pin, the TPS goes to 5v and ECU may give warning and engine may not start and DTC code 21 First, put in Your key and set the ignition to RUN for 3 seconds. Locate the TPS on the throttle body near the air intake hose. If the TPS reads outside of this range, the sensor must be adjusted. The TPS was mounted wrong to TB side, and not indexing to the internal tabs , thus jamming the TV at idle and making TPS calibration . It can also be used with the cars ignition turned on but the car NOT running to check other data relative to the TPS. 2. ( it shows what your right foot is doing, only) Ford tired having no screw and TVs jammed up. Those nincompoops? ouch) Never hot wire any output pins on any ECU. Start the engine to test the TBI. Wait at least The primary purpose a throttle position sensor (TPS) is to give information to the car's computer about the throttle. diagnostic (ALDL) connector and start the engine. The rule for WOT is About 75% and above Throttle angle is Unflood mode. The 89/90 TBI is a very hard car to adjust, because the Idle adjust screw(stop), changed at ANY time?, wrecks the TPS calibration (Suzuki corrected this pain, in 1991, folly?) The idle switch must be closed and near 0v running or the timing freezeand many things will fail. Bucking or misfiring (rich) maintain a set idle speed. The ECU now throws, DTC errors for the TPS. We now test the TPSswitch PIN. Loosen the 2- bolts that hold the TPS. This short video covers the instillation and calibration of a new TPS unit. And either the IAC needs to open up or the throttle blade must be opened The TPS activates, idle controls, and allows the EGR to operate and many other things, so the idle switch must be calibrated or all this things fail. Push the multimeter pin into the TPS screw and check the voltage. The TPS wires, are cut or worse cut and spliced on backwards. intake manifold and outside (ambient) air. a $2 tool. Only the Dashpot on top left of TB throttle body, is allowed to do this. M/T = Manual transmission, A/T , yes, automatic (this is all ASE /SAE jargon. The 16v Calibration point below: photo 4 is just and observation it is not a spec. TPS not bad ,so test it first (using volts above live or resistance tests). Do not disconnect the connector, until you wish to do an OHMS test, above. Previous owner removed it and put it back and now its not calibrated or did the calibration guessing or with wrong feeler gauges? The wrong factory part number TPS was installed. Replace the TBI by placing it back in the engine. 2.5l TBI. the ones on our trucks arent adjustable like say on a fox body mustang or rx7 our basically just get replaced, no adjustments. repeat them all. The TPS switch is not closed at idle, for any reasons. Seechart on top of this page. TheNincompoop section, there areno limits to damageor people doing crazy things to cars, wrong parts, or damaging them. There is increased load Two things come to mind very quickly. ThrottleAngle: (the Suzuki TP pin) But there are times when the adjustment of this screw is necessary. You are cruising and you tip-in the throttle moreand it hesitates, then catches up! This is a bad TPS TP signal. Open = infinity, (meter shows , infinity ohms) The TP usually has 4vdc output at 100% throttle. (wild jumps or drops in voltage) Now press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there until the Dash Display stabilizes with the Wide Open Throttle (WOT) percentage reading. and kick down cables. On a 100% factory stock engine, you should never DC voltage is measured between pins Sensor (+) and Ground (-). if the TPS delays opening, the idle switch , as you move the throttle pedal, a tiny bit ( .020) The ECU and ISC will fight you hard, and it willSURGEduring that fight. (if this pin fails?, hard, the ECU may go toFailsafe mode, Sets DTC for TPS , if it glitchesNo voltageJumpinessordrop outsallowed! If there is no signal or a TPS signal way out of parameters .. the PCM will set a trouble code. Make sure that the throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound. Never hot wire the main relay or fuel pump relay or blow the ECU driver transistors to H3LL. End fast testing. Unplug the connector from the throttle position sensor. This was. (22 is stuck low) prevent the throttle blade from closing too far and getting wedged/stuck in the Works well. When the throttle is fully open, the TPS sends a signal to the car computer that controls fuel injection. The Feeler gauge Matrix Table 1: (created from all origional FSM manuals (factory service manuals) Suzuk and GM.) If the TPS goes bad it can make the machine run erratically, or cause a hesitation at certain rpm's. Look close and see cracks. (except 89/90 years) THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) 1) Turn ignition on. I probe pin C ,key Onno start,, and the Dash Pot is holding the throttle open now, (if not fix that now) and the voltage is 0vdc, ( 0.5v) The throttle position sensor (TPS) circuits (wires) that we're gonna' be testing are: Throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit A: GRY (gray) wire and it connects to the F-14 terminal of the blue PCM connector. The TPS must not prevent the TVfrom closing 100%. All colors are harness colors. (use the 8v rules for these test above) Select the Dash button which will open the Dash Display (Yellow Arrow). Keep in mind, when you set the.016setting (example) you then remove the feeler , and the throttle retracts .016 and you get a solid repeatable less than 300 ohms each time. unbolt that nut below (stud) and remove the DP for calibration. If you have a scan tool, I recommend allowing the engine to warm up to NOTE: If you get a Check Engine light error indicating that a TPS failure, it is most likely caused by not having the TPS driver nut in the correct position. Unflood mode forever. If your Ford Ranger has a bad throttle body, it can cause it to run terribly. No dash pot. Remove grounding of the Measure the TPS with the multimeter once more to make sure the new settings have been achieved. TESTING the 16V TPS. TBI throttle position sensor chevy small block throttle body injected Efurd Garage 7.12K subscribers Subscribe 35 Share 3.2K views 10 months ago One way to change the throttle. You need to back off the setscrew in the driver 1/2 of a turn to set the voltage properly. stop screw on the throttle body. Please show me exactly how i change the TPS to make those adjustments, because when you say, "elongate . (or the wire on this pin is shorted to ground or to the power pin A) Basically any condition that increases load on the engine will result in Pin 2 is the idle switch. Best place for asking questions is FixKick forum. DO not open the TPS like I DID Below !, this is a destructive examination ! New wiring harness extension assembly to extend the throttle position sensor wiring for the listed applications. You control the throttle body position with the . The throttle position sensor is located on the throttle body. if any of these steps fail. Again, this side (angle) , is never calibrated. Pull the pin out of the wire on the sensor. (A/C fast idle), If not closed this idle switch, at idle the, if set (closed switch) to far into the TPS range, then the car , will have TIP-IN bogging. Angleis never calibrated. Glitching= This means that the voltage or resistance is not linear at the TP pin (throttle angle) seen here as glitching open . If all is good, we can skip the calibration. See photos, at end of this page. The TPS, is dead because you have a A/T to M/T swaps or the reverse and done wrong, wired wrong or the wrong ECU used, for each. (if 5vdc is wrong, the TPS will not work. It is just some quick Checks,looking for the hard failsfirst. Where To Buy The TPS And Save. It comes from the factory with a protective metal cap over it. This occurs because the ISC idle servo action was not canceled, at throttle tip-in. Begin tests: Also, the IDLE switch part is not a real gold zero ohm switch , it too is carbon, reading about300 or 500 ohms. The voltage will rise to at least 4v (5.2v max) as you advance the throttle, it must be smooth and linear, with no glitching. 3. below is terminal 1 to 3 test for the POT test. NOT start the engine. TPS is located on the other side of the throttle shaft. Keyon, NOT RUNNING test: (suck means, use vacuum hand pump tool) or remove theDPwith that single stud screw. (ECU sees, idle switch closed and RPM is a 4000 RPM, and low plenum vacuum..oops.?). (Throttle Position Sensor, Switch) See above graphic 1, for pin assignments. spec is. CALIBRATION GAUGES : 10 years of methods and values. Tighten the screw by turning it clockwise. The Advance must be smooth. electrical testing means. The connectors are held in place with locking tabs, so you'll need to use something like a flathead screwdriver or a small Allen key to release the tabs first. following steps. Plug in the scan tool to the ECM. Unplugged (not connected, testing) The 3 video tests (mp4) NOGO= Open Switch. is 5vdc when not at idle and near 0v when at idle. (minimum air setting). : or bad ECU +5vdc ref power source) (the DTC code # change for 96+ but the words and reasons dont) Larger displacement engines require more air to The 89/90 applies but the stop screw has special rules and steps for calibration and idle speeds. On my 1996 the top of the TB has this huge black beauty plastic cover blocking all linkage,; remove that first,. 16 valve MPI only. However, it serves The throttle stop screws primary function is to The word crude is an understatement here Below are theactual FSM pagesfor TPS calibration: TBI 1991 and UP. Select the configuration button. This is only one test out of the series of tests you carry out on the throttle position sensor and we . MPI92 -98 1.6L only USA. Yes, setting up 94 thou , is a pain, no feeler gage set has this size. As you turn the throttle up or down. EARLY 1989 and 1990 TPS Calibration and idle speed With your laptop connected to the ECM Data Plug, open the WinALDL program and turn the car ignition to the on position but DO NOT START THE CAR. The 3 video tests (mp4) ), Side issue? This is caused by worn carbon on the above rings, end of life. Any one of the above issues can cause a an IAC fault code to set in the ECM. This is the reason why GM installs a tamper-proof plug over the throttle Follow normal service procedures to remove the TBI assembly from the intake manifold. engine around the throttle blade or thru the IAC passage at idle. TPS = Throttle Position Sensor: The TPS is located on the passenger side of the throttle body. TPpin is the Throttle angle pin (wiper) of the TPS, not the idle switch. The tests are really the same as the 8v. Way to go Ford. (The Throttleanglepin, allows fast acceleration rich mode power enhancement and causes WOT (wide open throttle mode) and causes Unflood mode at crank time. Then select the Sensor Data button which will also show the TPS Throttle Percent position (yellow block/red arrow). CAL = Only the IDLE switch side is calibrated ! If You cant get zero volts (or near) the throttle is blocked open by something or the TPS calibration is way off, or the TPS is bad, at Calibration proves this out later If not unplug it and check it with the TB closed. The throttle position sensor (TPS) is a device on the engine that detects the position of the throttle plate. (with alligator clips to hold them) these can work great. Other pins open will throw over voltage DTCs for TPS. (warning the TPS actual wire colors can vary, but not the car harness colors that dont. Thats very very helpful! Pin B must not be stuck at 0v. Adjustment is made by rotating the TPS driver slightly clockwise to increase voltage. To be sure,must guys just set it to .026 drive around the block and all is well. If this procedure is done incorrectly, you will get a dead ISC or way late, throttle enrich mode, and temporary bogging. Pin B, voltage must move, and bedirectly proportionalto your throttle actions ! The cables must never be tight and holding the Throttle valve open (TV) at all. These errors can also cause the sparktiming freeze jumperto fail, and timing jumps, when frozen by you and your jumper wire. This may be .045-.065 volts. on TPS look here. (or have dead spots as you turn the throttle shaft). Gray/red Insert a safety pin into the 3G connector on the voltmeter, sliding it between the rubber seal and the electric wire. If you removed the TPS and didnt index the body TPS pins to the TPS actual pin sockets, none of this will work correctly. Never expect zero when closed ,like most switches. (thus real, and no errors set) TBI, the 8 valve engine with black top valve cover . Set theDMMvoltmeter to 20VDC range, and connect the minus (black) test lead to the battery, minus lug , for best results. Lock down those TPS side screws. This fact also explains why the GLITCH, if any, also causes the glitch to drop to zero volts. (varies by maker of DMM) Home > Engine > Sensors > TPS testing and calibration, all Sidekicks and Trackers. The idle switch must close at idle. To help us guarantee the correct parts for your classic car. it is a factory calibration for minimum air supply {tiny}. 1,287. How the TPS is used on a cold engine veries by car maker (ECU tuner), my whole pages covers only a hot running engine. This table was made from real USA FSM data. WARNING: THEDASHPOTDEVICE MUST BERETRACTED for all TBI, on car checks below(TBI is 8valve engine) if not the ground is bad. These settings adjust how much fuel, at varying . All conn. have lever locks, and Suzuki dont sell connectors. Pot. This means there isnt as much pressure difference to force air into the (your meter manual shows these facts) =for Potentiometer,or variable resistor. (even glowing cherry red) In 1991 GM changed the throttle position sensor connector and there are two styles of EGR solenoid . TPS switch open, LIMPHOME IS IN EFFECTcar starts, no idle controls, at all , ISC will be dead. The next steps are an audit of your work. The readings should be the same as seen above in the WinALDL testing method. The Fora platform includes forum software by XenForo. aka, set at threshold of closure. The IAC Park Position is a temperature-dependent value that can be adjusted in the following ways: Using the handheld - Tuning > Advanced > Adv. It may feel as though the car simply doesn't accelerate as it should, and jerks or hesitates as it picks up speed. The Switch side Low ,will vary from about 20 ohms (50 ohms is par) to 300 ohms closed (experience) and then go to open circuit, very soon ,as you crack the throttle open just slightly. Tighten mounting bolts. 5. See the schematics here. Then, start the car and try to rev it up to approximately 3,000 RPM. Push down on the throttle by hand until it is completely open and check to see if the voltage increases while pushing down on the throttle. When you start any TBI car, the Dash Pot must retract before 30 seconds expires or that part is bad. When you cut the throttle and the TPS fails to close, the EGR cut will fail, as will the Dash-Pot effect, anti neck snapping feature , of cut fuel mode. Why? (it will fail ! (all makers of this part, have rip off prices, its no Toyota, so they can do that) Regardless of the side draft carbs being used, you must have 100% throttle rotation prior to installing the TPS. Anything over 4.5v is what the computer sees as full throttle. 1: The end to end ohms on your POT must be steady at all times. There are three pins in the connector, 5V, Ground, and Sensor. By now, most of the TBI bodies have the plug removed that covered the throttle adjusting screw. ( over 3.5vdc on the TP pin can cause UNFLOOD mode and all injections stop, depends on ECU year and its software) Fast nut shell testing: (Unplugged) 1991 to 1995 TBI. The key to success is understanding the threshold issues during calibration. From what I have found online, it says it could be the throttle body or the position sensor. The green arrow points to the COM Port for your laptop. The 16v TPS has no pig tail connector like 8v has, but has 4 pins, and pin 1 is on the bottom. special tools available that are designed to test GM IAC valves, but I have As the name states, backprobing is the art of connecting to live circuits, at connectors still connected, past those rubber seals there '96 ext. 1985-1992 Camaro 305 and 350 TPI. Go/NoGo and Calibrate sizes. (the volts must not glitch running or ohms when tested) On cars that dont have an adjustable throttle position sensor, the ECM This is no gold contact switch, its only CARBON! Setting the throttle stop screw can be Make sure the throttlefully drops the butterfly and end crank against the stops,there is a screw there, that bottoms out, do not ever touch that screw. It doesnt have to be accurate , just consistent and linear. disconnect the IAC electrical connector. This should force the radiator fans to come on. 3. Unfasten the hose from the pressure sensor and remove the bottom bolt of the TPS sensor with a socket wrench. Turn your car off by turning the key counterclockwise. BENCH Glitch TESTS? Pin D is Cut or the TPS is bad. Other car makers do spec. If you get a Check Engine light error indicating that a TPS failure, it is most likely caused by not having the TPS driver nut in the correct position. G13 engines, do not have EFI , so hit the back button) When you first open WinALDL, this screen will appear. You will not get perfect zero volts, just very close. Code 44s, and timing freeze fails to work (the jumper). neutral (manual trans). (not indexed to the body correctly, per the FSM) { FSM is Factory Service Manual } This helps your ECU control the fuel and air mixture. or potentiometer, or variable resistor. I mention this, because the ground can be broken to the TPS at pin D (p4-16v)and the car will never start. This page covers calibration and testing , on car or off, volts and ohm methods. 4) ), In all cases, if the TPS is not installed and indexed and preloaded correctly, to the TV end pins per FSM, all bets are off. This tests can find a bad throttle angle sensor portion. Myths: We do the 4 TPS tests below first, before Calibrationsteps hereto be sure its even working at all. Loosen TPS side screws, so they are only slightly tight. the cold start fast idle device ) The VSV (vac. (my short list, lol) One example of this is when the engine is modified, or a different Set your multimeter to the 10 DC voltage range, place the black negative probe on the ground terminal of the TPS, and place the red positive probe on the reference voltage terminal of the TPS. Photo 5, do not attempt to do this. plug It is located on the left front corner of the TBI body, just ahead of the throttle arm. DMM/DVM: meter set to 20k Ohm range: See Figure 2 above for pin locations. A dead ISC, or one that is active when you accelerate say to 1000 RPM, The engine will never idle or will idle out (DIE) at stop signs, etc. Turn the engine on and let it warm up for about five minutes. (if it cant ever close) 300 or less is a better goal as most do near 50 ohms pin 1 to pin 2. To check that the TPS is getting power, go to: TEST 2: Verifying Throttle Position Sensor Has Power. *(8 inches HG vacuum dose it) at nipple seen below. if the Auto ranger shows 0.300 kthat is 300 ohms. and forming a tar like substance.GUNK Those values are perfectly fine for the TPS. This photo clearly shows the 2 devices inside, the unit. +1 flashing? If it fails on TB and is good off body, , TPS was mounted WRONG ! 2. This page covers calibration or testing the TPS. I have a brand new holley oem tbi. (IAC counts = 0), thus closing off the idle air passage. (ASE/SAE) (ISO, Im clueless) It must not over or under travel. (some cars not this, one use real switches and many Technicians, know how those works, and my comment) Shut the engine off and locate the AWS hose in the back of the carburetor attached to the curved inlet pipe near the throttle arm. The idle switch (pretend 91 G16a) shows infinity ohms with throttle open then when .016 gap (.4mm) happens the OHMS drops to 500 or less like a shot, some do this at 1000 ohms, we calibrate near 500 but is crude, just get it below 500, a touch. Disconnect power from the ECM for at least 10 seconds to clear codes (in If you do, the next step will address in the error message. TBI Adapters; Throttle Position Sensor; . pin on the TPS, or you MAYblow upthe 8v ECU copper circuit trace, 16v is better protected. They then have an idle speed air bleed that is end user adjustable. as a secondary function to adjust the minimum air setting. (is goal , 500 is spec. Parts cost somewhere between $98 and $133 while labor costs are priced between $61 and $78. One little secret that helps understand the TP pin (throttle angle) is that the ECU TP pin has a 470k ohm pull down resistor inside ECU so that if the TP pin goes open the ECU sees 0 volts (for safety) When driving the ECU may ignore the fast glitches but all get worse, in time, and if you see it glitching you know for sure that the duration can very (made worse) by the engine vibration Pre-conditionals: ! To adjust the throttle position sensor (TPS) of the Vehicles you must remove the Vehicles and alter its makeup slightly. You can even do so with a scope to see if the TPS glitches, It can be near tested 100% with proper tools. trouble codes thru the check engine light). accomplished a couple of different ways. allowing unmetered air to enter the engine, The throttle stop screw use tie wraps or bailing wire to tie it back some way. Figure 3: The easiest way to adjust the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is to use the shareware program WinALDL. OK, the TPS now has power ! The Below internals of my TPS, are cracked, car will never idle. ,due to, toolateIDLE drop out or tooearlyidle release,. cant adjust a TPS sensor as far as i know, you can replace them, 1998 Dodge Dakota, 2wd ECSB, 318, M1 2bbl intake, 52mm TB, Taurus fan, Ford injectors, MP PCM, MPP mid-length headers and full exhaust, Hooker Aerochamber, DJM 3/5 drop. A Missing Dashpot on G16a engine. Adjustment is not possible. might be able to bend the gold tab a bit, usually on the adjustable tps you loosen the two screws holding it on and twist the unit then tighten the screws. Any time the IAC valve is replaced, this learn procedure should be TPS installation and adjusting the TPS. If it does not vary in this range or has glitches or has dead spots, it is bad. There are 2 sections in this device, the top section is thePotentiometer (POT) or as some call it a variable resistor. In side the TB , Throttle body is a Throttle Valve, TV. As the throttle opens it will turn the shaft counter clock wise looking at it from passenger side of the truck. Pin 3 TPS TP pin wiper POT or TP throttle angle Gray wire output varies from .5v to about 3.5v idle to WOT. car is only sputtering on low rpms. Turn ignition switch is "ON". You may cause the throttle to stick open. Do not turn the key to the run position, until the installation is done.
