TPS Settings

[BRUN]

the figures from Chris H were

red - yellow 5.78kohms
red - green 2.01kohms
yellow - green 4.27kohms

mine are

red - yellow 5.82kohms
red - green 2.30kohms
yellow - green 3.90kohms

how far out do they need to be, whats an acceptable variance ?

[BRUN]

Thanks Lunner

R-Y - 5.91
R-G - 2.20
Y-R - 4.12

[Justin..]

how do you adjust them ?

[BRUN]

slacken the 2 screws holding it on and twist it

[Justin..]

:shock: sounds technical, i think i'll leave it alone :lol:

[Mattie]

how do you adjust them ?

i think the question is....wtf is a TPS :?

[Lunner]

Throttle Position Sensor :wink:

[Mattie]

Throttle Position Sensor :wink:

i knew that....just checkin every1 else did



:wink:

[CLIO 1.8 16v]

how do u test it ???

[Lunner]

measure resistance between differnet wires.

See if you had paid attention in your GCSE pohysics lessons you'd know this ;)....school really was useful lol

[MatBrown]

Nah.

did they not teach you how to spell? :lol:

[Lunner]

no i failed english :lol:

[richy]

lol fair enough! :lol:

Brun, these figures you got from lunner, are they the maximum acceptable variance?
I.E. no higher than them figures?

[Lunner]

no they are what i got when i put a multi meter accross the pins

[Dan_mk1]

Anyone know how to adjust using mvs? i have just adjusted tps on a ducati and wonder if its the same way?
or anyone can explain using the meter to adjust? I had the meter on the two wires and set to 150mv. i wonder if the clio williams tps can be adjusted the same way? but anyone know what the value is or where to set? eg let off throttle or set at tickover?
Dan
ps car is running high revs after accelerating. have checked the accelerator cable. runs ok only occasional on full throttle, take foot off and the revs are around 2500??

[Dan_mk1]

have just found the reading from r to g is over 2000. not 2.o1. guess i need a new tps. anyone local to Croydon have one?

Throttle Position Sensor
(This is the values when testing the wires/terminals on the ECU connector)
(Ignition on - Engine not running)
Terminals 9 & 17 - 0.2volts (throttle closed)
Terminals 9 & 17 - 4.7volts (throttle fully open)
Terminals 16 & 17 - 5volts

[Dan_mk1]

Brun i have just replaced with a second hand tps and the values are the same as one replaced. are the values you give exact?
otherwise i will have to source another one.
ps do you think it is the tps. fault is on full throttle. the revs return back to 2/3k not tick over....
Dan

[BRUN]

the values i gave from my last post, when testing @ the ECU pins for voltages, they should be spot on, they are from AutoData

[Dan_mk1]

brun am i able to chekc the figues with the ecu connected...
Dan

[BRUN]

if your very careful then probably
