The 1991 G16a has a pig tail connector, must have 4 wires.
and shares the Injector connector (tricky pin pulls, and all)
that connector you gander is the injector /TPS connector
it has 6 pins but only 4 are for TPS. (yellow /.red are injector)
see page 3 below, for what all this means. last link below.


try to keep in mind, your car has a VIN engine code U (not 6) code 6 , has no pig tail, TPS.
GM uses U code to say, engine is 8valves, TBI, G16a , my guess, (no photos) is your bought TPS is
with tails, and is correct for your 8v engine.

Install, (need feeler gauges to do it)
it's not just thrown on to the car, it must be calibrated.
or the idle switch WILL fail.(and more)
one maker of this TPS is here: (hard to find)
SMP makes one. sMP #TH-147 is for 8V tbi.

http://www.fixkick.com/buy-parts.html#TPS
do not use 16valve parts on your car.

here is the calibration steps.
http://www.fixkick.com/sensors/tests/TPS-testing.html#8v_FSM_cal

the factory page is here
http://www.fixkick.com/TPS/TPS-p91.JPG

http://www.fixkick.com/TPS/TPS-p92.jpg

and page 3 here
http://www.fixkick.com/TPS/TPS-p93.JPG

the last page shows the tricky pin pulls....


you must pull the old pins.' one by one.
then put in then new TPS pins , in the same places of old
matching COLORS.
then do the calibration steps above, using feeler gauges.
same basic steps, from 1989 to 1998.
in 1999 they calibrate it to 0.5vdc, only.
later years, it auto-calibrates.
if the new TPS fails to cure the problem
post the symptoms, and win.

Code 21 tps high voltage on a '95 geo tracker, how 2 fix?

Usually the problem is a faulty TPS, the sensor is out of adjustment, or there is a problem with the wiring harness. The sensor should read less than one volt with the throttle plate closed.

Does a geo tracker have a hot and ground injecter wire

no. the TBI works unique.
it has a driven ground and driven hot,
unlike any 1992 tracker with MPI engine 4 injectors.

if the NOID lamp test fails. the ECU is bad if the fuses IG-coil are good , "FI"f fuse, good, and no DTC errors?
and ground to the TPS is not cut.

1991 tracker I put in a new fuel pump relay. the new relay has power comming to teh relay the wire going to the fuel pump has no power. put the jumper wire in and the pump runs. Why won"t the power go...

probably becuase its faulty...try replacing it and go from there...or else there is another source of resistance in the circuit some where....also, check your fuses....a blown fuse will stop flow of current as well.
