Andy FitzGibbon Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The '89 FSM says that, when timing the engine (SPFI or MPFI), you must make sure the idle switch is on- but they don't tell you where it is. I'm assuming it's part of the throttle position sensor. Is this correct? Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(top 2 as installed on vehichle) For early (flapper) MPFI it's pins 1 and 2. Pin 3 is the Wide open throttle contact. For later (hotwire) MPFI it's the only 2 wires going to the 3 pin connector on the body of the TPS. Not the pigtail. For all, there should be continuity across the pins at throttle fully closed. Insert a thin feeler .012 inch feeler gauge between the throttle shaft and the stop. There should now be no continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
