Default tps voltage question
my tps voltage was at like 1.18..its supposed to be .99 volts right?
assuming that is correct could that cause my idle to stick at aobut 1800 rpm when its warm?

.99 set it, key on, engine off, beware as you tighten it down, voltage will increase.


so set to like .95 then as you finally tighten down, it should be dead on .99

at 1.18, the ecm thinks your accelerator cable is at a certain point and will do wierd things like that, jerk or shimmy.

Base Idle Reset Procedure

No..... any voltage reading between .7 - 1.1 vdc will work fine. The computer does the rest.

you should do your tps...then check iac and adjust idle...then redo the tps then reset the computer

anywhere from .950-.990 is fine really...it's the rare .750 stockers you wanna change
