TPS malfuntioning?? Help!

Can someone verify this. http://www.cybrrpartspro.com/Chilton...61CH04_22.HTML

I'm reading 11 Kilo ohms at idle position and 1.411 kilo ohms at full throttle. Does this mean I have a bad tps? I have no check engine light.

Your TPS is good, your just reading the wrong pair of pins.


Whats important on the tps, is setting the closed throttle position switch. its on the other connector (the top one).

you want the switch to get triggered (or turned off, which ever way you want to think of it), when you just barley touch the throttle.

I have an aftermarket tps, and its not made correctly inside (where the closed throttle position switch is positioned). I had to file down the slots that are used to mount the tps, so that i would have a greater rotating range to adjust the 'ctps'.

Which pins am I suppose to read? I thought (looking right at it) it's suppose to be the middle and the right. Well I hope it's not bad.

Probe A and B

That should give you ~1k ohm at idle , and ~10k ohm at full throttle.
