My TPS is at .957.

I was going to bump it up to .99, but the two bolts that attatch the tps are such a PITA to get to.

Would the extra effort to bump it to .99 really yield any more performance?


Thanks.

Nope don't touch it..the whole TPS at .99v thing is a load of garbage..anywhere from .85-.98v and your good to go.

Click to expand...

I have always heard the closer to .99 the better performance you get.
Where did you hear that between .85 and .99 is ok. Just curious.
Atleast I won't have to get to those stupid TPS bolts.

There is no performance gain to be had by screwing with the TPS..anything under 1.0v will be fine.

as Derek said, the computer should zero out the baseline upon start up/throttle closing. either it can zero it out or it will be out of range and toss a code (the puter can adapt ~25%).

that said, i dont mind seeing people mess with it - people have idle surging issues, etc which were not necessarily foreseen when the E.M. was designed. so mess with it if you want.

BTW, Derek, you are starting to sound like S&2B's. J/K.
