You need to find out what the output of the tps should be at normal operating temperature (tps = Throttle position sensor). Most are three wire sensors, one wire is a supply rail usually 12volts or 5volts, the next wire is the output of the sensor back to the vehicle's control unit and the third wire is the reference earth which should always read as zero volts or just above zero ( like 0.2 volt) you need to locate the output wire, the voltage on this wire will change with throttle position so when the throttle is closed ( at idle) this wire will give you a voltage. You loosen the fixing bolts on the sensor and move it very slightly to change this reading to whatever the correct reading should be. On most vehicles here in australia, the tps is set to .9 volts but you need the correct voltage for your vehicle. If you find that the sensor has insufficient adjustment to give the correct reading, replace the sensor. If you find that the supply voltage is incorrect, refer to a wiring diagram to confirm where this wire receives its power from. Trace the wire and check the voltage until you locate the issue. If this wire is fed 5 volts from the vehicle computer, check the voltage AT THE COMPUTER and if it is still low, high or missing, replace the computer. If the voltage is correct at the computer, trace back to the sensor checking the voltage until you locate the issue and repair it. If the vehicle has a Delco Remy computer, have it tested and repaired by a qualified technician ( some delco remy computers had an issue with cheap Japanese electrolytic capacitors) DON'T ATTEMPT this yourself, these computers use multi layer boards and MUST be repaired using special equipment or you will cause catastrophic damage. Contact your local dealership or garage for the correct sensor voltage when the sensor is in the idle position or purchase the manual for the vehicle which should contain these and other voltages along with workshop procedures for locating issues within the engine management. Having a manual is always a good investment and you can sell the manual if you ever sell the vehicle..

Is there any tricks to installing throttle position sensor in 92 geo storm? Not adjusting. Simply take out two screws and replace part and reinstall screws is it that easy?

Yes its that easy, just make sure you engage the notch on it to the throttle body shaft. You may have to roll it past the screw holes to engage the notch. Then holding it in place on the throttle body, just roll it back to where the holes line up for the screws. Do not over tighten the screws

1990 ford 302 efi running rich, surging idle

Checked throttle unit? Presume it's clean but may not be adjusted correctly or the ECU has had no time to reset itself with the throttle sensor. Sometimes can take some time adjusting correct mix after new setup. Are Lamba sensors new?

Idle at 250 rpm

Idle Speed Control (ISC) Motor OPERATION Eagle Throttle Body Fuel Injection (TBI) System NOTE: The Eagle TBI system is used only on 2.5L Premier engines. The Idle Speed Control (ISC) motor is mounted to the throttle body and controlled by the PCM. The throttle lever rests against the initial adjustment screw of the actuator (plunger). The idle speed is not adjustable. The initial adjustment screw is only used to establish the initial positioning of the actuator when the ISC motor has been replaced. The actuator extends or retracts to control engine idle speed and to set throttle stop angle during deceleration. Based on inputs from the various engine control system sensors and switches to the PCM supplies current to the ISC motor to adjust the actuator position for the particular operating conditions.

92 chevy c2500 very high idle

you might have gotten the throttle sensor wet, to the point that it shorted out. the throttle sensor is on the side of the throttle body / by the accelerator linkage. unhooking this sensor while the engine is running, will make the engine idle at or around 1500rpm....when you disconnect the sensor while the engine is running, and the RPMs go DOWN, then the sensor could be in the process of malfunctioning. if the RPMs go UP then the sensor is completely bad. either way, it will need to be replaced, and these are about $10 - $30, depending on where you get them.....places like auto-sone and napa have them in stock ALWAYS. also, invest in a diagnostic tester, because they really come in handy in situations like this and you can find one for as cheap as $25 at auto-zone AND napa.

How to adjust a throttel positioning sencer on a 92 toyota paseo

your position sensor is fixed. The ECU controls it so there's no real way to adjust it. However you can adjust the throttle cable and that will move your throttle plate inside the intake.
