ENG: Setting the TPS Sensor

[Losiracer2]

if my car stumbles right when it first starts up but then goes to normal the rest of the time, is my TPS not calibrated correctly? I've got the H23 TB/Plenum swapped onto my F22A6 and I reused my A6 TPS by notching the rivets to reuse the screws. I don't have any CEL's or anything. But is the TPS to blame for this misfiring at first start up? it happens pretty much everytime I start my car, cold or hot.

mine stubles and i calibrated mine...it aint that hard, just get a t-tap and use the battery as your ground.

so a t-tap? is that thing you got pictured above?

whats the deal here i have to do this soon cause my tps was broke on my swap.... should i buy a new one or just use the tps that was on my A6 tb? you have both the yellow and red wire in that t-tap?

I have that fluxuating idle now as well with no CEL code. And the voltage is at .49Volts and thats the lowest it can go. Whats the problem?

that link wasnt for you dum dum.

I'm gonna check this tomorrow since I just got a multimeter, my stumbling hopefully is caused by a bad Ignition Coil. I measured the resistance and pins B-D don't have a reading which indicates that something's up w/ those pins, specifically pin B doesn't since I checked all 4 individually, sorry for going

So a T-Tap is just a way of latching onto the wire w/o damaging it? my multimeter just comes w/ the two black and red wired probes would that be okay to check the TPS with?

oh and thanks for the updated link, the OP one didn't work but this one does now.

got to try this cuz my car idles too high!

[Losiracer2]

okay i'm trying to do this....but its not working. I have the positive lead on the red wire and the negative lead I have on the engine block. Its giving me no reading at all.....? anyone?

i am using a t-tap...means you're not making penetration./

I cut it down to a bare wire and am touching that w/ the red lead....and the black neg. lead i'm just touching on the engine block. And still no dice....

I am using my friends P13 Manual in my Auto though b/c my Auto P13 took a crap on me....could that affect the TPS sensor reading at all?

[wed3k]

and you make sure you have the key to II...

the only other possible thing would be if the ecu wasnt sending power to the sensor. i would check that at the plug.
