I am replacing my TPS(CEL #41) and haven't found anything on this proceedure. I know there are only 2 screws and the connector. Is that all thats involved in it's replacement? Anyone have any experience with this. Just sounds too easy.

You'll need to adjust it when you put it on as well. Here's the deal:

  1. Loosen the two set screws that secure the TPS to the throttle housing. (DO NOT REMOVE THE SCREWS)

  1. Connect an Ohmmeter to terminals IDL and E2 of the TPS after removing the connector.
  2. Insert a 0.024 in. (0.60mm) feeler gauge between the throttle stop screw and stop lever.

  1. Rotate the TPS counter-clockwise and slowly back clockwise until the Ohmmeter just looses continuity, (infinite ohms).
  2. Secure the TPS with the two set screws.
  3. Remove the feeler gauge and recheck TPS setting.
  4. There should be continuity with a 0.020 in. (0.50mm) feeler gauge inserted in the stop. There should be NO continuity with a 0.028 in. (0.70mm) feeler gauge inserted in the stop.

Remove the Ohmmeter and reconnect the TPS connector.
