TPS Adjustment
NOTE:
Ensure basic idle speed is set to specification before adjusting TPS. See BASIC IDLE SPEED
under IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE. Perform all adjustments with engine at normal operating temperature, front wheels in straight-ahead position, cooling fan and all accessories off, and transmission in Park or Neutral.
- Disconnect TPS connector. Using external ohmmeter, measure resistance between TPS terminals No. 3 and 4. See Figure . Insert .025" (.65 mm) feeler gauge between fixed speed adjusting screw and throttle lever.
- Loosen TPS mounting screws and rotate TPS fully counterclockwise. Ensure there is continuity between terminals No. 3 and 4. Rotate TPS clockwise until there is no continuity and tighten screws. Install Test Harness (MB991348 ) between TPS and harness connector.
- Turn ignition on. Using external voltmeter, measure TPS output voltage between terminals No. 2 and 4. If voltage is not .4-1.0 volt, check harness and sensor. See SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS - 1.5L article.
