(the ECU idle serve fights the drivers actions) shifted into gear). NOTE: Whenever you adjust your carb idle via the idle adjustment screws, you need to check the TPS settings. Set the scan tool to TPS voltage (or connect DVM) then set the adjustment screw for the lowest value & still touching the throttle arm stop. Loosen the jam nut and unscrew the throttle stop screw all the way so that the throttle blade closes fully against the throttle body itself. Theangleside never sets idle speeds, ever. { FSM is Factory Service Manual } This may be .045-.065 volts. The 16v uses software for a Dashpot function. To check that the TPS is getting power, go to: TEST 2: Verifying Throttle Position Sensor Has Power. 3. or even jam the throttle). The ECM resets the IAC valve when the car is !! The rule for WOT is About 75% and above Throttle angle is Unflood mode. What is it, what does it do? The TV can have up to 3 cables and each must be adjusted to factory spec. Not properly indexing the TV shaft pins to the TPS can cause TPS to stick throttle open. on the throttle blade or throttle body bore, The throttle stop screw It tells the ECU how far open the butterfly in the throttle body is. The wrong factory part number TPS was installed. Throttle Position Sensor adjusting the easy way! Rotate the sensor left or right until the voltmeter displays 0.50 volts. The TP pin pin can do that (DTC #22) and is a bad TPS. CALIBRATION GAUGES : 10 years of methods and values. Turn ignition switch is "ON". Ohms. Check throttle position sensor input voltage. Locate the TPS on the throttle body near the air intake hose. Anyway, after adjusting the sensor to as close to .45v as poss with the ign on but without the engine running, i done the reset thingy with the on off for 5 secs 5 times and started her up and the light stayed out (for the 1st time in a couplo weeks) for about 5 minutes on idle with a little reving now n then. DTC errors, 31, 32 ,33 or 34, or starting in 1996 DTC errors P0101, 102,or 103 (These errors trip failsafe), DIY: crude way, ( super easy, super cheap , fast? Trouble code definitions. Two things come to mind very quickly. 1 Throttle Angle Pot. stop screw on the throttle body. as a secondary function to adjust the minimum air setting. Plug the cable leads into the TPS sensor. A bad idle switch makes calibration , impossible. The Dash pot is on the lower left, clearly seen. (tie it back, to do the Calibration works) Step 2: Disconnect the negative battery cable. (wild jumps or drops in voltage) Replace the TBI by placing it back in the engine. METER MADNESS: Select the configuration button. Back probe pin C. (at factory side, blue-white wire, ) This is the calibrate pin, and we are only testing now, notCalibrating yet. (Fuel pressure wrong, timing belt slipped, EGR stuck open, leaking injectors,clogged injectors (full or partial)), Exceptions:(to how the TPS is used) 16V TPS Calibration method: (FSM steps expanded) See testing here. sol. Setting the throttle stop screw can be The TBI engine G16Adash pot devicemust be retracted first ! Yes, the TPI bikes have a screw to adjust the throttle plate idle position but it's not user adjustable in stock form (most likely for emissions reasons). Angle does change fueling rates (fast acting throttle only) with a fast moving right foot, acceleration beginnings It prevents hesitations. The TPS idle switch must close every time you drop the throttle (to near 0v) During this time, the IAC valve is typically extended out all the way Throttle Position Sensor problem. this would result in it getting wedged/stuck closed in the throttle bore), some Closed means less than 300 ohms. Today we're replacing, and adjusting, a throttle position sensor. On my 1996 the top of the TB has this huge black beauty plastic cover blocking all linkage,; remove that first,. Fast nut shell testing: (Unplugged) 1991 to 1995 TBI. Open the hood of your car and locate the TBI. The Throttle Position pin , or TP November 11, 2019 by Jason. (even and old analog needle meter works perfectly) 6932 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by Matt_vs_YJ, Aug 7, 2008. 2.Misadjusted or bent throttle linkage.You don't know what was done before you got to it. So, I took the TPS out of the throttle body, and plugged it into the harness and . If the TPS switch willnever close , even with the TPS completely removed from the TB, then the TPS is bad. CAL = Only the IDLE switch side is calibrated ! 2. As noted above, when you have the percentage number correct, the voltage number will also be correct. (I recommend testing it before calibrating the sensor ) They supply the complete wiring necessary to operate the engine fuel system and spark control as originally designed. MPI, the 16valve engine with the words 16 valves embossed on top of valve cover, and is multipoint INJECTED (4 injectors). if this pin drops below 4% throttle angle (below about0.2Volts) driving, you will getDTC codes 21/22 errors. 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. aka, set at threshold of closure. The switch most work right or many features fail, liketiming freeze(service) or idle controls are dead or EGR fails to work, and the ISC goes dead. The dash pot device on the TBI 8v must be. You can even do so with a scope to see if the TPS glitches, It can be near tested 100% with proper tools. when you have it at .50v simply tighten the screws and make sure it stays at .50v some times it will change after you tighten it lower or higher than what you want. The idle switch must be closed and near 0v running or the timing freezeand many things will fail. Common symptoms of a bad throttle body include, dirt and grime, the check engine light, and an erratic idle. (non 89-91) ECM or PCM) TheNincompoop section, there areno limits to damageor people doing crazy things to cars, wrong parts, or damaging them. TPS = Throttle Position Sensor: The TPS is located on the passenger side of the throttle body. Bucking or misfiring (rich) The idle switch is the only device calibrated here. A $250+ Suzuki part. 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 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. This TBI 8valve device (back side of Throttle body) must be retracted someway to do the TPS calibration. 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. Throttle Stop Screw First of the throttle angle pin is not calibrated (the ECU auto calibrates that in software) and is a crude device. the observed IAC position counts come to rest within the spec range I You control the throttle body position with the . (1.8Land bigger motors. Component pin out. Pre-conditionals: Same rule, if somenincompoops, fiddledthe TV valve stop screw, all bets off, this folly, must be corrected now. The throttle shaft is somewhat flat at that point. Removing Your Sensor Follow these steps to replacing your sensor. (just harnesses, if lucky). The Throttle Position Sensor, or TPS testing (theory). It is just some quick Checks,looking for the hard failsfirst. This page covers calibration or testing the TPS. This should force the radiator fans to come on. The POT side, has 2 rules (besides that the actual accuracy is very crude, some pots are 3k and some are 6k ohms, a crude device. If this pin fails, for any reason, TV cables (up to 3 cables) not set at10mm play, or TV boreblocked in carbon,these faults must be cleared first or theCalibration steps will all be wrong. It may accelerate smoothly, but lack power. that is allowed to enter the engine thru a closed throttle. listed at the end of this frame. To be quite honest, you dont really see many IAC valves fail. For sure BENCH setting is super easy, and works best do to , you see carbon blockage at TV/ Bore , and fix that. Zero=zero opens the throttle vane 1.92 degrees when the lefthand stop screw is adjusted from 10 mV to 250 mV, however, the Motronic only reads 0.32 or 0.64 degrees. (if this pin fails?, hard, the ECU may go toFailsafe mode, Sets DTC for TPS , if it glitchesNo voltageJumpinessordrop outsallowed! That means it can't calculate the fuel and air ratio. ---===<<< 2001 Xtreme X-Cab 4.3 W.I.P.>>>===---. Yes, setting up 94 thou , is a pain, no feeler gage set has this size. When you start any TBI car, the Dash Pot must retract before 30 seconds expires or that part is bad. It is nota precision voltage or ohmic reading. We also have OE-level training and advanced diagnostics, including reset adaption, adjust/reset of the throttle actuator and EGR valve coding. The FSM instructions, are are linked in every section on calibation and does cover this step. (the glitching can be VERY fast, 20/1000s of second ) discovered most shops dont have these tools anymore. (8v example) The POT side TP SIDE: (this switchnever produces 0 ohms, but does go below 300 ohms for closed , ECU expects less that 500 or less, we think) The J18 engine first removed this device and on all future engines. The TPS mustnever interferewith the TV or the opposite. Idle Air Volume Learning (Throttle Position Learning) (silently; no DTC) (if the angle is at say 4v , the ECU thinks that is not an error , just the driver doing UNflood mode per operators guide) Leaky throttle body base gasket.Very comon on this engine.I don't know if you serviced this when you pulled the intake. maintain a set idle speed. The two numbers are dependent on each other so if you fix one, youve also fixed the other one. AnyDMMs meter can be very slow reacting, and miss them.! The throttle body costs between $200 and $500, while the labor cost is around $50 and $150. If the TPS reads outside of this range, the sensor must be adjusted. Turning the TPS down may help improve the way your Vehicles runs, but if you turn it too low, your Vehicles may not start. This helps your ECU control the fuel and air mixture. ( I corrected and error here.. shame on me) Other car makers do spec. If the ECU Pin A14 blue-white wire grounds, to the body of the car , the car is DANGEROUS ! (I will use harness side colors, because they do not change) This test is long, but is better than guessing and paying $250 for a new sensor !! ( over 3.5vdc on the TP pin can cause UNFLOOD mode and all injections stop, depends on ECU year and its software) See figure 1 above, for pin Identifications. (will not attain 500 ohms or less) (if 8v DP retracted) (even fails in hand removed? 0v means idle, 5v means not idle. (keyon or off , not started) It will never read 0 ohms. What is it? The TPS usually can never causes stalling, the #1 cause of that bad act, is EGR stuck open. Tighten mounting bolts. Turn the throttle down by tightening the TBI's screws. year ECM, you should be able to adjust the minimum air setting by doing the end calib. See hopeless. (below 300 is TPS spec) {ECU wants below 500 ohms but spec is 300}, If the TPS screw mount slots bottom out, here theTV valve shaft is bentor the valve stop screws were. 1. The TPS is now calibrated and validated. ), Side issue? The TBI only, Dash pot, has a spring inside, andpushes outward that plunger by default, and holds the throttle open with keys in pocket! Turn ON the ignition, but do Buy TPS Sensor Sender Throttle Position for Volvo Penta TPI MPI EFI MERCRUISER 805226A1 3855184: Throttle Position . 1986-1982 2.5L (R) 151" 17068996, 17078274 TBI 14050 Skyhawk 1982 1.8L (G) 110" 17067587, 17068612, 17078516 R-2 CARB 14053 it is must be indexed correctly ! Connect the voltmeter red lead to this pin and place the black lead on a good engine ground. prevent the throttle blade from closing too far and getting wedged/stuck in the New wiring harness extension assembly to extend the throttle position sensor wiring for the listed applications. It must not over or under travel. 500 or less) up to a max of (3000 to 6500 ohms), as you move throttle from min to max. (engine races at idle) Say you look in the throttle bore and the TV is not closed (with dashpot retracted on TBI). lean what infinity means by setting meter to 2k (200) ohm scale , with leads held in air. Adjusting the TPS switch is the ACT of Calibration. Once the driver is properly positioned, tighten the Allen screw to lock it in place. WOT is about 3.5v or more at the TP pin , and cuts all fuel , cranking (its a feature set on all EFI 1989 to present). and 1 Idle Switch inside. The TPS can be mounted wrong, and blocks the TV open. If you removed the TPS and didnt index the body TPS pins to the TPS actual pin sockets, none of this will work correctly. side called by Suzuki TP pin, is theThrottle anglepin, and allows for the ECU to enrich fuel with a fast right foot. So before In this case well be taking voltage readings directly from the connector at the TPS using a Digital Voltage Meter. (after the key has been off for at least 10 seconds). This is just to show the guts and how it can crack inside. Setup 1: This same pin if failing for any reason will cause theSpark timing freezeENABLE to fail too. (, The TPS idle switch is DEAD. This method is used mostly by the hardcore technician. By using power supply and a 470k ohm resistor from the TP pin B to D ground. Factory TPS calibration procedure for the 16valve MPI 92-98 Sidekick or Trackers. (off topic ) Pins C . Seeing this aberrant glitch with some DMM can be very hard, as they are so slow to measure, and can miss the glitch. (if not ? Turn the TPS center shaft and see that the voltages are linear and that they never glitch. WARNING: THEDASHPOTDEVICE MUST BERETRACTED for all TBI, on car checks below(TBI is 8valve engine) Before calibration, there must not be thesegross errors: The TPS mounts to the TB (throttle body) side and measures TV actions, and reports them to the ECU. Never hot wire or ground out the ECU +5vdc(Ref) pin. the throttle cable or cruise control system that isnt allowing the throttle to This is what needs to be turned to adjust minimum air, or more commonly known as "idle speed". a tad, so the TPS can move easy, and rotate. Measure the resistance between the TPS connector terminals "A" and "C" with a multimeter. (or to the engines shinny metal) For a ground reference. If you dont have a scan tool and you are working with a pre 1994 model Remove the air cleaner lid and the air duct leading to the throttle body using the Phillips screwdriver. 91 GMC C3500 454 350 TBI TPS Idle Adjustment mossman381 52.7K subscribers Subscribe 66K views 5 years ago Checking and adjusting the TPS (throttle position sensor) on the 91 GMC C3500. The key to success is understanding the threshold issues during calibration. This page is only complex because of the 10 years covered and 2 engines and evolutions of the same. if yes, its. The throttle position sensor (or TPS) monitors the throttle body butterfly valve. means potentiometer or variable resistor. Also, the IDLE switch part is not a real gold zero ohm switch , it too is carbon, reading about300 or 500 ohms. ( resistance meter){ near 5volts} Adjustment is made by rotating the TPS driver slightly clockwise to increase (counter clockwise to decrease) percentage & voltage. BEGIN TESTING the G16A, TBI engine 1991- 1995: (8 valve , engine only) The 3 video tests (mp4) There are 3. repeat them all. POT wiper pin or throttleanglepin : (Cold circuity test), (POT side is never calibrated , only the switch side is calibrated on any of the 1.6L). All TB cables are 10mm loose. Never ground out the +5vcd refr. I have seen new switches vary from 50 to 1000ohms (in the first .030 of travel.. the goes to infinity (and open circuit) Most screws have a T25 torx head, but they also can be an allen This is the reason why GM installs a tamper-proof plug over the throttle Works well. is 5vdc when not at idle and near 0v when at idle. Preliminary setup: (have the 3 feeler gages in hand, or stack them, only 1 feeler is needed to do just the CAL. Adjust the idle stop screw This is why the feeler gauges are used. The TP does get watched by the ECU, for rate of TV action, you move the throttle fast and the ECU sees that and goes toENRICHmode, until the MAF/MAP catches up. Gray/ yellow 0 Volts. After replacement of Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, system must be cycled as identified for PCM to properly control idle speed. Note the reading on the multimeter. (even glowing cherry red) Turn ignition switch is "OFF' wait at least 10 seconds. Key off. If this procedure is done incorrectly, you will get a dead ISC or way late, throttle enrich mode, and temporary bogging. 4) on the engine (such as what would occur if the automatic transmission was disconnect the IAC electrical connector. This works on all TPS sensors, only the pin names vary. Below are theactual FSM pagesfor TPS calibration: TBI 1991 and UP. GO = Closed IDLE switch ( less then 300 ohms) (300 ohms is TPS spec, , ECU spec, i think is 500) I use 300 ohms. (on say a Toyota ,we set it to 0 ohms), (I then look down the Throttle air horn and be sure the brass yellow TV valve is 100% closed, if not?, all this is hopeless. Unplugged (not connected, testing) The 3 video tests (mp4) Part 1 of 2: Removing the throttle position sensor. The cables must never be tight and holding the Throttle valve open (TV) at all. Then find the Accel pump and press enter. Loosen the TPS mount screws. (the volts must not glitch running or ohms when tested) Push the multimeter pin into the TPS screw and check the voltage. and it will work. The green arrow is pointing to the voltage reading which should be close to 0.50 volts. The sensors all eventually wear out and the throttle angle pins starts glitching or has dead spots. If it fails on TB and is good off body, , TPS was mounted WRONG ! TBI, the 8 valve engine with black top valve cover . The TPS on this car is tricky to calibrate (16v). If youve selected the correct COM Port, youll see data scrolling when the key is in the on position and when the engine is running. TPS end Connectorunplugged, do not force it. Again, percentage and voltage are co-dependant and at WOT the red arrow points to the TPS voltage reading which should read 4.2 or more. : (off car tests) Then if you open the throttle another 1.28 degrees, the throttle vane is actually open 2.20 degrees but the Motronic reads 1.6 degrees. Ford tired having no screw and TVs jammed up. You may cause the throttle to stick open. The FSM instructions, are are linked in every section on calibation and does cover this step. CAL steps) TV means Throttle valve inside the TB the Throttle body. accomplished a couple of different ways. The voltage tracks my foot throttle 1:1 that is direct action and linear) The TPS Angle checks, prevents this hesitation; that is it prime jobEnrich mode. But does in LIMPHOME. TPpin is the Throttle angle pin (wiper) of the TPS, not the idle switch. See hopeless. The first thing you should do when you get a TPS code is to check adjustment and signal output of the TP sensor beforereplacing it. 172318 . Seeing the ceramic substrate and the carbon thin films , is very visual and clear what is going on inside. Not at all. They then have an idle speed air bleed that is end user adjustable. 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?) If this calibration is done wrong the following may (will) result. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. (varies from 1v to 4v as you move the throttle, typically) (over 75 % is WOT most cars) (4vdc on TP pin) all injections cut. At idle, its .54 volts, which i think is correct. The easiest way to adjust the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is to use the shareware program WinALDL. (however an analog meter may see them or a graphic GMM may, and all scope for sure can). The TV bore is so closed, that it will not pass water, but is closed 99.9% and not 100.00% so the fly plate can not JAM. (by people) If all is good, we can skip the calibration. and Fast idle commands(ECU) will never happen. Cheers !, you are now calibrated. To help us guarantee the correct parts for your classic car. It also shows you how the carbon works, the Gold wiper device is missing here. shows cracks , that can happen. Basically, the main cost involved in replacing a throttle body is the cost of the parts required to be replaced. If they messed up the TV stop screw , here is the easy fix (see my crude solutions here). MPI92 -98 1.6L only USA. (all ways) 1,287. All conn. have lever locks, and Suzuki dont sell connectors. Key ON. Adjust the TBI. (Infinity) With the ignition still on, I think your Throttle Position Sensor is different from mine. The PCM on that truck will look for a TPS input signal to help determine the shift points and main line pressure of the 4L60E. Never hot wire the main relay or fuel pump relay or blow the ECU driver transistors to H3LL. Any one of the above issues can cause a an IAC fault code to set in the ECM. The throttle plate closes when a car is idling, and to ensure the vehicle continues to run smoothly when it is stopped, the IAC valve continues to inject air. These settings adjust how much fuel, at varying . Throttle Position Sensor Diagnostic Manual $2.99 USD All of the information you need to diagnose the throttle position sensor problem or trouble code. TPS switch open, LIMPHOME IS IN EFFECTcar starts, no idle controls, at all , ISC will be dead. If the TPS goes bad it can make the machine run erratically, or cause a hesitation at certain rpm's. There's nothing to adjust. 1. The below graphic is for the OHMS test, but in fact this same drawing showsyou, what pins to test for the live voltage tests. (not indexed to the body correctly, per the FSM) The late to open idle switch, will case Tip-in fuel mixing problems. Never adjust the painted or capped off,throttle stop screw, for any reason. Turn the ignition ON, but do not try to start the engine. C and D Pins. ThrottleAngle: (the Suzuki TP pin) Too late TPS idle switch opening. (over range, on the meter , means Infinity , and that is what causes, DTC-44 flash code errors, at idle. A voltage check across the sensor (harness plugged in, key on) should show approximately 0.5VDC at idle and 4.2VDC or more at full throttle. 300 or less is a better goal as most do near 50 ohms pin 1 to pin 2. If you're unsure how to . so the engine idle speed obtains 550rpm in drive (auto trans) or 650rpm in EARLY 1989 and 1990 TPS Calibration and idle speed Adjust rear TBI throttle stop screw to approx 6" of H2O on manometer. Connect volt meter just like above atsetup1. The green arrow points to the COM Port for your laptop. 1. IF the TP pin hasglitches as you accelerate? (This cut wire,etc) TPS part numbers. Secure the bolt at the bottom of the TPS sensor and attach the hoses to the sensor and inlet pipe. Close the hood of the car. Tip-in as in your right foot tips in the throttle and engine hesitates a bit. Previous owner removed it and put it back and now its not calibrated or did the calibration guessing or with wrong feeler gauges? Start engine and warm up sufficiently. (factory methods). ,due to, toolateIDLE drop out or tooearlyidle release,. Lock down those TPS side screws. First, put in Your key and set the ignition to RUN for 3 seconds. Percentage & Voltage Method using WinALDL. Standard Ignition 3 Terminal Connector - S674. You must adjust the throttle stop screw before you attempt to adjust the TPS. cab 4.3l 5spd 2wd, '07 4.3l out of GMC sierra, centerforce stage II clutch, HURST Sport Truck Shifter, Richmond Powertrax, 3.73, underdrive pulleys, gutted airbox, & one bad azz driver! shifted into gear). Basically look inside of it and think about which direction the throttle shaft will need to turn the tps inside components. Get. One is a cold engine. (the ECU cant tell the difference from a glitching TPS or a driver with a wild right foot) Loosen the throttle position sensor retaining screw with a Phillips-head screwdriver. If idle speed is not okay after cycling system, problem is usually caused by a dirty throttle plate or vacuum leaks. close all of the way, There is carbon buildup Or RACE at high speed, the IDLE will NOT regulate. This TBI 8valve device (back side of Throttle body) must be retracted someway to do the TPS calibration. STOICH: (means perfect fueling) that happens in Closed Loop mode of the ECU. I check ohms for 3500- 6500 ohms, pin A to D. ( its very crude) It must not read infinity or the TPS is no good. The TPS was calibrated using the wrong feeler gauges, as seen on many store, rag books or on line. Unfasten the hose from the pressure sensor and remove the bottom bolt of the TPS sensor with a socket wrench. The 8V factory TPS data pages: If ENG idle speed does NOT drop below curb idle speed, check for vacuum leak. a switch (right) and the POT. 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. This damage happened during and engine removal. Because the throttle valve cannot be allowed to completely close (because Step 3: Remove the sensor electrical connector. ), Photo #1:(aka. The next steps are an audit of your work. when you get the percentage number within parameter, youll also have the voltage within parameter and vice versa. (we cant burn air), ergo the TPS angle pot was invented. (but can if the ISC goes dead and other failures, prevent air flow to the engine or very weak fueling as this idle switch will shut down, the ISC) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. (7/16 inches). Now, if there's a problem, there's only two possibilities: [*] There. Consult the engine diagram that came with your vehicle for extra guidance. in software we think, so use 300 for best upper limit) Parts cost somewhere between $98 and $133 while labor costs are priced between $61 and $78. All steps here: There are 2 sections in this device, the top section is thePotentiometer (POT) or as some call it a variable resistor. Heres this same car with the engine running and idling at 900 RPM. (the ECU does not use this way, but I check it so I can find glitches not found , B to D.) (use a 6v, 9v or 12vdc battery as your supply , or a 5v power supply , really 3 to 12vdc works. ) ! 1985-1992 Firebird 305 and 350 TPI. Complete step-by-step testing instructions. 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 .
