Throttle Position Sensor
 

i am in need of a new tps. i have heard about these pentiometer or however it's spelled...are they good and worth the 37.00? also is there anyplace that sells regular tps's for less than 100.00?

They are good and work, I know of no TPS's for that price. I assume you have tried adjusting it?

yes i have. it was working great then started coming out of overdrive at about 65 and not going back in. now it wont go into od at all even after adjustment

try dnrcustoms.com
they build a kit for thirty dollars
it includes the wiring harness
don't have any experience with it
it is on the things to try list

dumb question... Have you done anything to adjust the throtle lever throw? I have buddy that has a truck doing the same thing. Come to find out when his lever was reindexed to get full throttle it goes past what the TPS can read and pulls it out of adjustment everytime he goes full throttle.

And yes DNR makes a nice set-up.

adjust the tps for voltage
remove tps from the bracket
turn upside down
there is a bolt in the bottom of the tps
this bolt engages the throttle lever
adjust this bolt + or - to get the correct voltage required
this should resolve the shifting problem if the tps is still in good order

He said he has already adjusted it, still not working/

go back to the basics
ground ground ground
might just be a dirty one?
bad end on the cable?

I used my factory scan tool and reset the minimum/origin of the TPS sensor. it still read fine, but shifted out of OD at all speeds. I think it may have been an intermittent glitch so i ordered a DNR potentiomiter. fixed it right away and very simple to install. i drilled a hole next to my headlight switch for the knob.

i have a lightly used one i bought for mine for a while before i took the auto out. ill let it go for 100 bucks, i think i payed over 200 for it. pm me if your interested
