2.5 TBI TPS adjustment

[Dillithium]

 

Am I correct in the fact that i need to remove the throttle body to adjust the TPS on the 2.5 TBI?

With those fuel lines there, and the coolant(?) line to the right of it, I have no room to backprobe the connectors, let alone a T-20 socket.

 

Can I safely disconnect those fuel lines, or would I have gas spray everywhere?

Is there a gasket from the TB to the Intake manifold?

That's the first I've seen of a '86 close up.....looks like a cluster-F.

 

I use a Torx screw driver....may be easier than a socket and ratchet.

 

Once removed you could replace the bolts with socket head bolts and use an allen wrench.

 

 

 

You can make up a couple of probe pins, stick those into the plug and then touch the meter probes to the pins rather than probing directly.

 

 

The Fuel lines should flex enough that you could lift the TBI up enough to probe and adjust but you'll likely lose your gasket. I would do whatever I could to not remove the TBI.

I tried using household wire to backprobe it, the connections are weatherproof so I couldn't get it in right. Even if I could, I'd have no way good way to loosen the TPS.

I'm going to find a rebuild kit for the TBI, if I'm going to go through the effort of taking it off I might as well clean it up.

 

Thanks Jeep Driver.

See above.

 

I have no idea what a kit will cost  you or if you can find one there but you can get a new one for a reasonable price.
