With the TPS connected, it won't go pass 2000rpm.

I changed to a new JDM engine after my old one overheated. I used the same TPS on my old engine but it runs rough and won't rev past 2000rpm so the engine keeps pulsing at and below 2000rpm. However if I disconnect the TPS, it runs fine and revs past 2000rpm normally but now the check engine turns on and it can't past smog in CA.

SOURCE: rough idle

Have you had the throttle valve cleaned?

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

i ran into this with my focus. It turned out to be a loose connection on the crank sensor. It started right after i changed the serpentine.

Have the alternator tested. You are providing a low charge to the battery when you jump it and when taking it above 2K RPM requires more amperage resulting in the engine dying and the rough idle

How do i change the throttle positioning sensor on my 2002 Kia Optima?

Changing the throttle position sensor (TPS) on your 2002 Kia Optima is a fairly straightforward task, but it's crucial to approach the process with care. Below are general steps to replace the TPS on most vehicles. However, always refer to the specific service manual for your car to ensure you're following the correct procedures.

Tools and Materials Needed:

  • Screwdriver or socket set (depending on the type of fasteners used)
  • A new throttle position sensor (ensure it's the right part for your vehicle)
  • A digital multimeter (optional, for testing the old sensor)
Steps to Change the Throttle Position Sensor:
  1. Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. This ensures you won't accidentally cause any electrical shorts or get shocked while working on the vehicle.
  2. Locate the TPS: Find the throttle body on your engine - it's usually located between the air filter box and the intake manifold. The TPS is a small sensor, often positioned on the side of the throttle body and connected to the throttle plate shaft.
  3. Inspect Electrical Connections: Before removing the TPS, check the wiring and connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or wear. If you find damaged wires, they'll need to be addressed as well.
  4. Remove the TPS: Using the appropriate tool (screwdriver or socket), carefully remove the screws or bolts holding the TPS in place. Some vehicles might have a clip that secures the sensor. If so, carefully detach it.
  5. Install the New TPS: Position the new TPS in place, ensuring that it aligns properly with the throttle plate shaft. Attach it using the screws or bolts you removed earlier. Be cautious not to overtighten as you could damage the new sensor.
  6. Reconnect Electrical Connections: Plug the wiring harness back into the new TPS. Ensure it's securely connected.
  7. Reconnect the Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal to the battery.
  8. Test the Installation: Start the car and let it run for a few minutes. Pay attention to any unusual behaviors, such as erratic idling or poor acceleration. If you have a digital multimeter and know how to use it, you can check the TPS's voltage to ensure it's working correctly.
  9. Clear any Engine Codes: If you had a check engine light due to the faulty TPS, you might need to clear it using an OBD-II scanner.
  10. Test Drive: Once you're sure everything is in order, take the car for a short test drive. Monitor for any issues with throttle response or engine behavior.
Remember, while these are general guidelines, there may be specific details or steps unique to your 2002 Kia Optima. Always consult the vehicle's service manual or consult with a professional mechanic if you're unsure about any part of the process.

Flat spot between 1800-2000rpm ford transit connect 2009

Could be the TPS. Especially if you have cruise control, use it a lot and tend to stay at the same speed all the time. If you do the TPS contact strip will be worn down at the point where you always set it at (i.e. say 70Mph) the metal contact at that point gets worn away since it sits on the same spot all the time. The rest of it is fine, but that spot is bad, when you hit it the power is temp lost, then returns once it goes past that part. Moral of the story. Don't always cruise at the same speed, your TPS will thank you!

Always start with the simple stuff.. look for vacuum leaks. look at accel cable attached to the throttle body.. is it stuck holding the throttle plate open? The big Vac hose from the intake manifold to the brake booster? . remove the big air hose from the airfilter to the throttle body check the throttle plate.. and clean the mass air.. special spray cleaner at auto parts store. Did this just happen or did you change something.. DID YOU INSTALL THE TPS WITH THE HOSE ON AND COULD NOT SEE THE THROTTLE PLATE POSITION?.

Losing power stalls

93 vit ,.with what engine? there are 5 or 6 used world wide
and what country, some of these are JDM cars, with no smog parts.
tell that it does good and wrong,
no transmission stated or engine 3 tranny sold and more engines.
my wild guess. is your tranny slips?
is is this a bad idle post. idle controls are out of control?
my guess 2 is its a Manual 5speed stick transmission?
guess 3 its not a USA or Canada Vitara. but where>?

ok its IDLE surge. ( the ecu will do that if fuel mix is lean)
with lean fuel mix engine power is very weak and idle is impossible to
control , by you or the ECU.
Guess 4 , the Engine is G16 engine.
but what type class is it. 8v, 16v, EFI, or carb.
here is the chassis tag , see codes here, these tell me what car you
really have.
http://www.fixkick.com/specs/Body-TAGS/html/image_10.html

VIN and FAE number tell ALL.
here is smog free JDM car tag. note lack of data

the VIT has huge variances world wide,
which one is yours, identify it and all gets 100x more easy.

Fast idle land rover discovery

I had the same problem on my 96 Discovery. It turns out, if the low end of the new TPS reads even a little bit higher than the old TPS, then the engine will rev high. It can be reset at LR dealership to map the new TPS, or you can hog out the screw holes on the new TPS and turn it clockwise until it reads as low or lower than the old TPS, or you can try cleaning the old TPS and reinstalling it. I was able to fix it by rotating, but I also was able to read the TPS signal at the OBD2 diagnostic port.

Hi.

From your description it looks like you have a defective TPS (The TPS is the position sensor on top of the throttle body that you are disconnecting).

Signal from the TPS is very important for different vehicle's functions. Among other thing the TPS output is used by the electronic ignition system to determine the fuel mixture being injected and by the automatic transmission to determine when to change gear. In your case the transmission was probably not shifting into higher gears, for that reason the engine was not revving above 2K rpm.

The TPS can be tested reading voltage at its terminals while someone operates the throttle pedal. Voltage must increase/decrease smoothly and stay in range, otherwise the TPS must be replaced.

As said at start your problem is likely a defective TPS. The fault is quite common and it is fixed replacing the TPS.

Regards.

Try a TPS, Throttle position sensor. Its job is to send a signal to the vehicles computer to advance timing and fuel for the throttle position.

If you have the Double Overhead Cam engine DOHC V-8, there is a problem with the engine. A part called a "Cam Phaser" now has an extended Warranty. The Phasers are a variable valve timing device. The engine will make a Tapping noise until 2000RPM and then the noise will go away.

In any case, go to Autozone or Oreillys for a FREE scan of your engine. This scan can also identify Transmission problems too.
