EA82T throttle position sensor adjust?

Featured Replies

can I get the hookup on the procedure to adjust the EA82T throttle position sensor please? BTW I searched and didn't find anything obvious... need to hold a steady idle to try emissions and it stumbles at about 2300 RPMs..

well that did absolutely nothing.

tried to do emissions yesterday, and it wouldn't idle steady above 2300rpms, just dropped. it's kind of choppy to drive, throttlewise.

still does it no matter where the TPS is set at. i think it has something to do with no engine compression and the turbo kicking in around 2300 or so.

*kick*

my plug is messed up, and it does that, i move it around and it stops momentarily, or id check the temp sensor for the computer. the plug or the sensor... maybe =]

i don't know.

 

i tried holding it steady at 2500 with the engine cold and it worked with no difficulty.

 

i think this car is daring me to do an EJ swap :drunk:

engine cold works fine you say ..

sounds like it might be a partially faulty tps then maybe

after all teh heat from the motor reaches parts and they expand even a tiny bit.. then well teh tps no longer functions right.. just a guess

eitehr check the volts at teh terminls when its cold and running and then recheck when it hot and running and if its a alot of change.. then try a diffrent tps

 

or check for crappy grounds on the engine block /heads/intake

 

it might be a crappy ground losing contact when it warms up

add a few extra grounds for fun it certainly won't hurt :)
