Throttle positin sensor

I just replace The throttle position sensor and the car seems to run wost than before is there any way to adjust the sensor???

  • Kiley Gilley Mar 06, 2012

    I would try driving it for a little bit first. Chryslers have an issue with TPS sensors if the battery goes dead. It's like the computer almost has to relearn the TPS.  Every time we have had a problem with a TPS it has solved itself in the matter of 20-50 miles. Also, if you have a code for a TPS, try erasing it also so the computer will begin to run its checks all over again.If the issue doesn't clear up after 20 or so miles, you might want to make sure the sensor wasn't bad out of the box.  That does happen with manufacturing quite often.

SOURCE: How do I adjust the

Do you have the 4G37 or 4G63A or 4G63T? if you don't know.. that basically means do you have a 1.8, 2.0 SOHC, 2.0 DOHC, or a turbo-charged engine? I have an '05 Evo and i small screw on the throttle-body near where the intake connects to it. If you turn it it changes how high the engine will rev while its idleing. I'm not sure if thats what you mean because if not you may have to take it to a shop and get it recalibrated.

SOURCE: DOES THE SCAN CODE 0510 IS RELATED TO

Code PO510 commonly refers to a defective Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). But before you go replacing it check all the wiring. Make sure everything is tight and connected. Check for a wire touching metal and shorting out. Check the ground wire and see if it shares a ground with the coolant sensor or another sensor. That other sensor may be the problem and not the TPS, if it is defective and not providing a good ground

1999 Chevy Metro LSI Loss of acceleration power, on take off only. I have no acceleration power up to the speed of 10 - 15 MPH, after that the car runs fine.

Could be a dead spot in the tps or maybe it needs adjusting.
here is a procedure to adjust:

0900c152800488e3-j1axptdruxmkgupulmd503d3-4-0.gif . Fig. 1: Throttle position sensor testing
  1. Connect a digital multimeter to the throttle position sensor terminals 1 and 2. Measure resistance.
  2. Insert a 0.012 in. (0.3mm) feeler gauge between throttle stop screw and throttle lever.
  3. With retaining screws loosely installed, turn throttle position sensor fully clockwise, then slowly counterclockwise until digital multimeter indicates 0 ohms (continuity).
  4. Tighten screws to 18 inch lbs. (2 Nm).
  5. Insert a 0.035 in. (0.9mm) feeler gauge between throttle stop screw and throttle lever. Digital multimeter should now indicate an open circuit (no continuity).

Throttle position sensor

Yes. the throttle potentiometer operates on resistance and accordingly opens or closes the throttle to adjust the amount of air intake going into the air horn.
Good luck.

Adjustable throttle position sensor

I'm assuming you have the 3.3l v-6. When I look up the part, it seems to have slotted holes. Therefore, it is designed to be adjusted after installation. If your tps has these slotted bolt holes, adjust it to satisfy the settings in the test procedure below.
  1. Remove air cleaner. Disconnect the TPS harness from the TPS.
  2. Using suitable jumper wires, connect a digital voltmeter J-29125-A or equivalent to the correct TPS terminals A and B.
  3. With the ignition ON and the engine running, The TPS voltage should be 0.3-1.0 volts at base idle to approximately 4.5 volts at wide open throttle.
  4. If the reading on the TPS is out of specification, check the minimum idle speed before replacing the TPS.
  5. If the voltage reading is correct, remove the voltmeter and jumper wires and reconnect the TPS connector to the sensor.
  6. Reinstall the air cleaner.

How to replace a throttle positin sensor on a 2004 lincoln ls

Because the EGR valve is in the way of one screw, your best bet is to remove the throttle body,them the sensor.You have two torx screws holding it on. T25 or something. This would be on a V8.

Throttle body just replaced; now runs & idles rough

adjust the TPS, throttle position sensor.

First though, disconnect battery for 1/2 hour. Restart engine and drive for 15 miles while computer relearns changes you made. Will run rough for this period.

High Idle

The Throttle screw is located on the throttle (obiously) its in a clinderical shaped channel located on the throttle just oposite or obliquely opposite the the throttle body position sensor. In some mazda vehicles (IN TRINIDAD) you need to loosen the throttle body position sensor and slightle adjust it eighter to the right or left to tuen the idle (For electronic controlled axcelleration) in some cases it can be adjusted via an ODB2 diagnostic tool (only in some vehicles that has electronic controlled axcelleration)

You can tell what type your vehicle is by looking for an axcelleration cable connected to the throttle body. If the throttle body has a cable it isnt electronically controlled and has an idling screw. If there is no cable but wires to the position sensor its electronic.
