Why are you adjusting the TPS on a 2003?? It's considered non-adjustable since the EEC takes the base value at startup and zeros it out.


Adjusting the TPS is an old 5.0 trick...and an incorrect trick at that

I had to adjust the TPS cause I installed a accufab throttle body and plenum. And accufab says the tps needs to be adjusted to .98 to 1.00 volts with the key turned on. It was reading .86 before i adjusted it, but I can't get it higher than .96, I don't know if the .02 to .04 difference really matters. It should 5.00 volts at wot

But the only issue I'm having is a hanging rpm when I'm slowing down, it stays around 1200 until the car comes to a complete stop than drops to normal idle range. WOT is perfect.

Like he said, 0.96 is fine. Be sure to disconnect the battery to clear the memory before starting as idle values are stored and need to be relearned.
