Stu Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 The voltage should go up linearly to you pressing the pedal. You don't need the engine running to do this, just the key in position 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstyrone Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Chears stu, Just tried it. Went up smoothly to to 5 v so its ok. Glad i tested it now. Just need to figure out what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherrybeard Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 hi there, just screwed the tps back onto the throttle body and noticed that after you turn the throttle plate fully open, the sensor still has quite a bit of travel left meaning that only the first 3/4ish travel of the sensor is used. Does this explain why i obtained no new readings towards the end of the sweep? i.e. the sensor has no need to change its ouput for its whole range since only some of it will be used. Suppose only thing left would be to check the voltage when its back on the car (gaskets still not here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
