need help setting tps sensor!!!
 

I just installed a skunk2 im and tb on my 99ex with a d16y8. i forgot to check the stock position on my tps sensor before i took it off the stock tb. does anyone know what the stock settings for the y8 are? I have already tried .45 at throttle closed. any help is appreciated need to get car running right so i can stop bumming rides.

0.5 volts when the throttle is closed, and 4.5 volts at WOT.

Use a volt meter and tap into the TPS signal and ground wires. Gradually open the throttle and watch the TPS voltage reading. Adjust TPS if needed until the desired voltage is reached.

should i set it at wot first?

Re: need help setting tps sensor!!!
 

the reason why i ask is i tried .5v also and it still idles like ----.

Re: need help setting tps sensor!!!
 

First, set it with the throttle closed. If the idle is surging like ----, just tap the TPS up or down slightly until it idles smoothly. I had the same issue before, but it takes a little time and patience to get right.

FYI...the last time I did mine, I did it without a volt meter and everything is OK.

i can get it to either surge or idle at 3k. i have tinkered with it for two days now. is there a way to reset the little bastard.

If you are able to get it to idle smoothly at 3000 rpm, just turn down the idle. Remember to disconnect the IAC valve before you adjust the idle screw.

this maybe my ---- up. disconnect the iac valve from the manifold or just unplug it. because i have the idle screw almost all the way in but i did not know about diconnecting ithe iacv.

Just unplug it.

could not get th skunk2 tb to idle right. i tried everything that i know and read about trying. just gave up and bolted back up the d16 tb. car started right up with very little adjustment at all. hell i did'nt even have to use the votlmeter to get it right.

Are you sure the throttle cable wasn't to tight? On my STR one, i had to move the throttle cabe about 1" to get it to idle at 750rpm
