Mine is set at .60 volts. It just was always at that. What is the best setting? I have a custom chip. Does that affect anything?

 

.54 volts is stock. Chips are usually programmed using the stock setting as a start off point.

Any where from .47 to .61 is normal (for 1990 TPI Firebirds anyway). I would look around the net a little bit, guaranteed someone has it posted somewhere. I dont think there is anything about 3rd gen F-bodies that isnt online.

 

from everything i have read .64 is max before the check engine light shines.

Someone who runs a hell of a lot faster than 15.5 !
Look how many mods you have. tsk tsk

 

Hey spyder.... you're pretty new here, I wouldn't be cutting on people with your perverted sense of entertainment, especially one of the more knowledgeable guys like Vader. Watch yourself or you'll find yourself at the top of many people's ignore list.

Wow.... you run faster than 15.5? I'm impressed, but not with your lack of class.

 

I've seen Vaders posts. Sounds like the guy reads right out of a Chiltons repair manual. A lot of "internet mechanics" around here huh?

 

Congratulations Spyder, with just 7 posts you've mangaged to alienate (look it up) most of the people on this board who highly respect Vader, GM Tech, RB, RCR, and the other "internet mechanics" here. Let the doorknob hit ya where the dog shoulda bit ya a$$hole.

By the way, if you're so freakin fast, why don't you post your times?? And why do you find it necessary to post a question like "what is your TPS set at?" if you're such an expert?

You know, this sounds a lot like NUN.....

another thing....how are u pulling 12.3's with only a 1.9 60' time? i've seen high 13 second cars pull those times

 

His mods sure do look like he read them straight out of a few catalogs sittin' on his computer desk.

 

street & performance says for best performance it should be set at .84

I was just curious when I looked at this thread. I am new to 3rd gens I also have a 4th gen. I have been looking on the thirdgen bords for about a month I have found most of the guys on this bord to be the most knolageable on the net. To all the guys like vader I thank you for all the tec info that you despence at no cost and as a new member I appologise for all the ****** that will ask for help and then trash the guys that want to help.

thanks guys

------------------

 

.84v will almost definately set a code.... the upper limit with stock prom is .61v and even with a custom burned prom like Spidey says he has I can't imagine it being that high. Then again when your mods are all in your mind like his probably are anything is possible.

 

I have tpi on my truck and it is set too .84 with no problems. It doesn't flash codes and it runs great!

yeeee haw kevin , I like that big bird thing on your hood . bwhahahahahah

 

Let me guess.... when you were a baby you were breast fed by your father and this is the way you are rebelling?? Grow up, ****head. 9 posts and 6 of them are nothing but childish rants.

 

im new to thirdgens and i know somethings about them but where and how do you adjust the tps. I want my car running better and i want to know how to adjust it thanks guys

------------------
91 formula
305 tpi
borla exhaust
white face gauges
home made cold air
tpis airfoil

 

syderman,, do you have a 305 or 350?

https://www.thirdgen.org/messgboard/...ML/000725.html

 

That airfoil you got doesn't work well with the stock TPS, you should go to kalecoauto to get the performance tps for such high flow. The guys at pep boys recommend running higher voltage with sfcs, but Im not sure how high. Maybe you should ask Steve about that one.

 

Didn't see your post, formula91. You need to unscrew the torx bolts in the side of the tps to move it up and down, this adjusts the voltage. You need a voltmeter to check it though. By moving it around you can pretty much tell where you want it, as the idle will speed up or slow down. The tps is on the passenger side of your throttle body, it has a connector going into it. I know someone has a pic around here, but its really obvious.

 

thanks for the info

 

LOL, the roc!!!!!

 

Acually Street and Performance does recommend .84v but with there systems.
Oh, and it does not set off any codes.

Oh Sheehott!!! Spyder got caught in a lie!! Now what was that he said?? BWAAAHAAAHAAAA??? ROTLMFAO!! This is hilarious!! Hey Spyder... give me those times and mods again boy!!!

 

 

I think you can go up to .91vs before a code sets. So the range is between .40s-.90 I think.

I set mine at .63v


Spyderman.. This is not a flame board. Knock it off.

 

lb9Formula, you can find info on it in this thirdgen.org tech article (by Tom K): https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/tpimod2.shtml
