rebuilt or cleaned) or the TPS (throttle position sensor) has been replaced or otherwise disturbed (i.e. (the reading of 4.0K is 4000 ohms.) The throttle crank (where cable end fit) must land on the throttle stop screw head. the Dash Pot VSV valve or the DP hose,etc. (your meter manual shows these facts) The 8V factory TPS data pages: It senses the air, heat, and light, and sends the information to the ECM which adjusts the throttle and fuel supply accordingly. diagnostic (ALDL) connector and start the engine. Allow the engine to fully warm up and go into closed loop. Estimate does not include fees and taxes. neutral (manual trans). Unplugged (not connected, testing) The 3 video tests (mp4) If the TPS switch willnever close , even with the TPS completely removed from the TB, then the TPS is bad. Remove cap from ported tube on rear TBI and connect manometer (J-23951). As the throttle opens it will turn the shaft counter clock wise looking at it from passenger side of the truck. All pins on allMPI TPS look like this and rules and wire colors ! This is caused by worn carbon on the above rings, end of life. The TPS idle switch must close every time you drop the throttle (to near 0v) disconnect the IAC electrical connector. If not get one of the HAYES or CHILTON manuals manuals and do some reading. The connectors are held in place with locking tabs, so you'll need to use something like a flathead screwdriver or a small Allen key to release the tabs first. (This car has no top air horn Idle air bleed screw, is a, TPS testing and calibration, all Sidekicks and Trackers, The only reason this is hard, is the silly carbon cheap Suzuki switch. If ENG idle speed does NOT drop below curb idle speed, check for vacuum leak. Remove grounding of the NOTE: Whenever you adjust your carb idle via the idle adjustment screws, you need to check the TPS settings. The location of the TBI will vary, depending on your GM vehicle. Open = infinity, (meter shows , infinity ohms) With your laptop connected to the ECM Data Plug, open the WinALDL program and turn the car ignition to the on position but DO NOT START THE CAR. (over range, on the meter , means Infinity , and that is what causes, DTC-44 flash code errors, at idle. THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSORS WHAT THEY DO Monitor the throttle opening for the computer to adjust fuel flow. Any time the IAC valve is replaced, this learn procedure should be Or RACE at high speed, the IDLE will NOT regulate. The engine has huge induction air leaks , making the TPS ECU monitor software report false TPS errors. The TPS activates, idle controls, and allows the EGR to operate and many other things, so the idle switch must be calibrated or all this things fail. or open 5v wire (like 5vdc is dead on the 5v pin of TPS, 5vdc gone is bad ECU ) If the TPS errors are bad enough (with DTCs to match) and constant, the ECU may go, tolimphomemode and car does start. 5) There is little to no adjustment on the TPS assembly, 2. (if the ECU sees this , it can SET DTC errors for IDLE Switch failure,when in fact is just calibation errors), 1991 to 1995 , 8V TBI G16a TPS Calibrationof TPSidle switchside: C and D. The 3 video tests (mp4). Attach an Ohm meter (DVM set to ohms resistance starting on the 2k range 2000 ohms) per instructions. If your Ford Ranger has a bad throttle body, it can cause it to run terribly. Engines that have higher compression or are new/rebuilt can have higher Key off: (I recommend testing it before calibrating the sensor ) The TPS was mounted wrong to TB side, and not indexing to the internal tabs , thus jamming the TV at idle and making TPS calibration . See the schematics here. The TPS mustnever interferewith the TV or the opposite. might be able to bend the gold tab a bit, usually on the adjustable tps you loosen the two screws holding it on and twist the unit then tighten the screws. Cheers !, you are now calibrated. Basically look inside of it and think about which direction the throttle shaft will need to turn the tps inside components. Push the multimeter pin into the TPS screw and check the voltage. Look carefully the cable has10mm slack, it must. 0v means idle, 5v means not idle. ( over 3.5vdc on the TP pin can cause UNFLOOD mode and all injections stop, depends on ECU year and its software) 2) Remove it and check it. (will cause , engine that loves to flood ,cranked cold) but does make calibration easy, sure (1/2 joking). The Howell TBI unit was installed by the PO. This section is NOT CALIBRATION! The Fora platform includes forum software by XenForo. If not unplug it and check it with the TB closed. The TPS switch, must open at the correct moment or the ECU will be very confused ! tps. (over 75 % is WOT most cars) Adjust the TBI. TEST 1: Checking The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Signal. Adjust the TPS by moving it back and forth until the voltage is between 4.0 and 5.5 volts. Throttle Position Sensor 1991 Chevy Silverado Throttle Body Idle issues SILVERADO BLUES MEMBER 1991 CHEVROLET SILVERADO V8 2WD AUTOMATIC 89,900 MILES I just completed an installation of a 400 SBC into my 1991 Silverado C3500. (if it wont calibrate the TPS is bad or mounted wrong or theTVis not closed 100% or someone bent the TV shaft or the TPS is not indexed to the body right.). The IAC valve cannot be tested using conventional Then the ECU causes a hesitation when you demand power. There's nothing to adjust. How to find which engine you have or the parts attached to it? Rotate TPS body CW , see meter go to infinity. Hit the Exit button on the configuration box. 92-98 BEGIN TESTING the G16A, TBI engine 1991- 1995: (8 valve , engine only) The 3 video tests (mp4) the 2 (not shown) wipers short the inner and outer rings as they wipe. 6932 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by Matt_vs_YJ, Aug 7, 2008. (with alligator clips to hold them) these can work great. BENCH Glitch TESTS? For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. Buzz words: 2. Plug the cable leads into the TPS sensor. (the ECU idle serve fights the drivers actions) The 89/90 TBI is a very hard car to adjust, because the Idle adjust screw(stop), changed at ANY time?, wrecks the TPS calibration (Suzuki corrected this pain, in 1991, folly?) or even jam the throttle). I have seen new switches vary from 50 to 1000ohms (in the first .030 of travel.. the goes to infinity (and open circuit) The IAC works by bypassing the closed throttle plate, the valve allows air to circulate inside the car's combustion area and allows the vehicle to idle smoothly. It comes from the factory with a protective metal cap over it. Copyright 2023 Leaf Group Ltd. / Leaf Group Media, How to Adjust the TPS on a 1994 3.0 V6 Toyota Pickup. The throttle position sensor is mounted to the throttle body on top of the engine. Where is the "throttle adjusting screw" ? CAL = Only the IDLE switch side is calibrated ! This damage happened during and engine removal. 4. The TV bore is so closed, that it will not pass water, but is closed 99.9% and not 100.00% so the fly plate can not JAM. The idle switch (pretend 91 G16a) shows infinity ohms with throttle open then when .016 gap (.4mm) happens the OHMS drops to 500 or less like a shot, some do this at 1000 ohms, we calibrate near 500 but is crude, just get it below 500, a touch. Wrong engine in car, wrong ECU, wrong, THROTTLE BODY, some joker put the wrong generation parts on top of engine? and Begin tests: Works well. provided earlier. (auto ranged meters, works ok too) TEST 2: Making Sure The TPS Is Getting Power. Same rule, if somenincompoops, fiddledthe TV valve stop screw, all bets off, this folly, must be corrected now. Example, If ordering a TBI kit, or one of the components such as TBI adapters (pic of carbs), Throttle Sensor Kit (pic of carbs), Lucas Distributor Conversion (Distributor pic). How to time the distributor G16B (16V)? It can also be used with the cars ignition turned on but the car NOT running to check other data relative to the TPS. maintain a set idle speed. Theangleside never sets idle speeds, ever. The TPS isinfamousto go intermittent first, then fail hard. (varies from 1v to 4v as you move the throttle, typically) So that means if say , engine power is lost andnever catches up?, then the TPS is NOT THIS PART BAD. valve) closes this DP device (vacuum sent) after say 3 to 15seconds after a start) If not fix this first. (some cars not this, one use real switches and many Technicians, know how those works, and my comment) A Missing Dashpot on G16a engine. but at with the pedal to the floor, it only goes to 3.9v (the old sensor did this too, probably didnt need replaced.) (suck means, use vacuum hand pump tool) or remove theDPwith that single stud screw. The IAC Park Position is a temperature-dependent value that can be adjusted in the following ways: Using the handheld - Tuning > Advanced > Adv. Pin 2 is the idle switch. TB =Throttle Body. 3. on the throttle blade or throttle body bore, The throttle stop screw In the instructions it says to adjust the tps to .65 volts but it does not say how. The TP Angle pin carbon section inside, is worn as all do , eventually), Last 1991+ 8v TBI, and newer TPS Calibration procedures, packed in GUNK causing TV to not fully close. (DIZZY). Throttle Stop Screw There is a Torx screw on the side of the throttle body. Turn ignition switch is "OFF' wait at least 10 seconds. If the engine doesn't have enough air, the air-to-fuel mixture ratio is off, and some fuel might be left after the spark. (due to flooding) (it the ECU, mimics the bad TPS and runs VERY BADLY). The ISC will be dead ! DTC 44 , and 45 ( 45 is stuck at ground , very rare this , is a harness short) The idle switch must be closed and near 0v running or the timing freezeand many things will fail. (silently; no DTC) (if the angle is at say 4v , the ECU thinks that is not an error , just the driver doing UNflood mode per operators guide) TPS switch open, LIMPHOME IS IN EFFECTcar starts, no idle controls, at all , ISC will be dead. TPS was removed, and the internal pins were, The G16a Dashpot fails to ever retract. Yes, setting up 94 thou , is a pain, no feeler gage set has this size. J18 idle speeds out of control are covered here. Lock down the TPS side screws. 4. AKA: throttle angle tests (TBI G16A example) The ECU now throws, DTC errors for the TPS. If the throttle body has been removed (i.e. 1,287. TPS installation and adjusting the TPS. and CAL means you get the switch to just close, and you stop turning the TPS body. The calibration is only conducted with the SWITCH SIDE. The TPS can be mounted wrong, and blocks the TV open. Then rotate the TPS CCW, then rotate CW it until the TPS (pin1 and 2 )just barely(at the threshold) go toInfinityon, Remove Feeler gage, note the Ohm meter (Resistance meter) shows continuity (less than 300ohms) (ECU expects less than 500 ) (do not expect zero ohms! (but the idle switch , yes idle will be wrong if the switch is dead.) These settings adjust how much fuel, at varying . when you get the percentage number within parameter, youll also have the voltage within parameter and vice versa. Once youve downloaded and installed the program, configure it per the directions below. (use a 6v, 9v or 12vdc battery as your supply , or a 5v power supply , really 3 to 12vdc works. ) unbolt that nut below (stud) and remove the DP for calibration. Ford tired having no screw and TVs jammed up. To help us guarantee the correct parts for your classic car. on the engine (such as what would occur if the automatic transmission was Loosen the top bolt on the TPS sensor a couple turns with the socket wrench. NOTE: If you get a Check Engine light error indicating that a TPS failure, it is most likely caused by not having the TPS driver nut in the correct position. G13 engines, do not have EFI , so hit the back button) DC voltage is measured between pins Sensor (+) and Ground (-). This may be .045-.065 volts. All Rights Reserved.
