Do I need to adjust my TPS?

Hey all,

Today I checked the TPS on my Quadrajet to ensure the voltage was in the correct range. With the car off, the voltage at idle was 0.57V and at full throttle I get 4.17V. Is this the correct range? I see in other posts idle should be about 0.6V, do I need to adjust mine or is it OK?

Thanks!

Hey that sounds fine to me. YOu won't really notice much of a difference between .45 and .6 at idle, and anything over 4.1 at WOT is good. Mine is at .54 and 4.15 I think.

Ah, that is good news, thanks for the piece of mind. One less thing for me to spend money on.
