Re: Car jerking intermittently

hi I also thought of adjusting it , but when I took it out I used a flat screwdriver which is similar size to the throttle shaft and tried to turn it but it only swings one way and automatically swings back , it doesn't turn any other way , I don't want to force it the other way because I might brea...

Re: Car jerking intermittently

I put the old one back and the voltage is reading .65 closed to 4.9 full open but the old one the catchment area is eaten away . so the wiring is correct

Re: Car jerking intermittently

Hi thanks for the reply, when I took out the old sensor I took it out gently not touching the shafts and when I put the new one I aligned it with the bolts and I slide it in, is there a way I should redo it? I did the 5 second and ten second thing but didn't work I'm going to start it up now and let...

Re: Car jerking intermittently

I am going to check the voltage in the morning at idle.and full throttle, I read somewhere you can adjust the tps if it is not sitting at 0.45 at idle by loosening the screws and slight movement clockwise , going to try in the morning I have read a lot of articles where people installed new tps and ...
