TPS question

[mjtjnj]

Well, I replaced every sensor on the vehicle except the TPS and it seems there's a "dead spot" in it now. Had a problem with it a couple years ago, cleaned the connectors and it cleared up. That didn't work this time, so I ordered a new Standard Ignition one. Question is - is it just bolt and go or do I need to make adjustments? Does it come preset, in other words?

 

Thanks

You have to adjust it. What year MJ do you have? If It's '90 or older and a 4.0 the adjustment can be found here: http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavist ... manual.pdf the settings are different for Auto and Manual trans.

If you could just shoot that TPS Report right over to me, that would be great! :brows:

Doesn't the link work for you? It should open the RENIX manual in PDF, then just save a copy to your local drive.

That is too good...

 

He didn't mean that literally...it's a quote from a very funny movie called Office Space (I believe is the name).

OK...here is the "how to" part from the FSM on adjusting the Renix era TPS...

 

 

 

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)

 

1) Turn ignition on. Check throttle position sensor input

voltage. Connect voltmeter negative lead to terminal "B" (M/T), or

terminal "D" (A/T) of sensor connector. Connect voltmeter positive

lead to terminal "A" (M/T and A/T) of sensor connector.

 

NOTE:

• On (A/T) models, connector terminals are identified by
  letters molded into back of connector. On all models, do not
  disconnect TPS harness connector. Insert voltmeter test
  leads through back of wire harness connector. On some
  models, it may be necessary to remove throttle body from
  intake manifold to gain access to sensor wire harness.

 

2) Move and close throttle plate completely (M/T and A/T).

Ensure throttle linkage contacts stop. Note voltmeter reading. Input

voltage at terminals "B" and "A" (M/T), or terminals "A" and "D"

(A/T) should be 5 volts.

 

3) Return throttle plate to closed throttle position (M/T

and A/T). Check sensor output voltage. To do so, disconnect voltmeter

positive lead from terminal "A" and connect it to terminal "C" (M/T),

or terminal "B" (A/T).

 

4) Maintain throttle plate in closed position (M/T and A/T).

Ensure throttle linkage contacts stop. Note voltmeter reading. Output

voltage should be .8 volt (M/T), or 4.2 volts (A/T).

 

5) If output voltage is incorrect, loosen bottom sensor

retaining screw and pivot sensor in adjustment slot for a coarse

adjustment. Loosen top sensor retaining screw for fine adjustments.

Tighten screws after adjustment.

Taz can you put that in the DIY section?

Good idea...I'll do it right now. :cheers:

Yeah, sorry about that. My sense of humor occasionally takes a sharp turn.

Thanks, guys; after reading up on it a bit, I realize it was a dumb question -- thanks again!!
