My car is throwing a couple of codes that all point to my TPS. I just bought a digital volt ohm meter, but I have NO idea how to use it to test my tps. I was wondering if anyone could helpme, and please be very specific, all I know is "red wire" "black wire" and stuff like that. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey sky what are the codes your getting?

 

rich condition, vehicle speed, egr, and one other that I can't remember. I looked in my hayne's manual and it said that three of the for codes point to the tps. My idle fluctuates by a couple of hundred rpms, and when I sit at a light my ses light comes on, but when I take off it goes off.

 

Follow the reply I got from a similiar post 2 years ago. Ed did a good job of explaining it. It did turn out to be a bad TPS (replaced for $25).

I've already lookedat that thread and it doesn't help me. I don't know what a "jumper" is. I need very detailed instuctions so I dont mess something up. Sky

 

I use 18 gauge wire inserted from the back of the plug until it makes contact with the pin. Piece-o-cake.
