what is the proper way to check the throttle position sensor are'nt you supposed to check for a certain voltage between two wires at idle and how do you make adjustments.

 

[Guero]

supposeably to set it at .98-.99. but I beleive final5.0 showed me an article if you set it between .60 and under 1 your fine

 

[bill302]

i've checked it before but forgot voltage and wire colors, when i did it last i pierced two wires (don't remember colors) with a needle and connected a voltage meter to needles and at idle its supposed to be .something, and how do you adjust if high or low.

Good subject. I just ordered a 70 mm throttle body tonight and as I look at the thread I see that I probably will have to remove it from my old body and place it on the new. Anything I should know guys?

its gonna be a bitch to put it on. well at least for one it was.

never mind i was thinking about the elbow.

Grady is right about it being able to self-zero upon closing. But if someone has a surge issue, setting it cant hurt.

Good luck.

 

[Guero]

so you just put a new one in and it does it by itself?

And I'll need those T.P.S. reports on my desk monday....

 

[Guero]

what?????

Technically it should, but I would check it with a meter to see where it baselines.

Good luck.

 

[Guero]

ok hopefully it works. thanks

That is good info Grady. It is nice (I guess) that the Ford allowed for such a wide array of sig-return tolerance. We werent advising to set the sensor near a given extreme, were we? The adaptability range cuts a rather wide swath.

That info parallels that of S&2B's, et al.

Good stuff as usual Grady.
