so i was ****ing around with it today and had to get something from my dads shop so i unplugged the tps and went. didn't run right which im not surprised but it seemed like it had alot more power then he did before.

am i just imaging things or has somebody else experienced this?

thanks

 

cant. i would say it shouldnt run at all. TPS shows throttle positon to the ECM. without it the ECM wouldnt kno how much the TB blades where open and it wouldnt run. theres nothing that can bypass that... like how the ECm can un without the 02 sensor bc it has everything else. there is nothing else but the TPS that tells the ECM throttle blade position

 

alright thanks man. i was driving and let the hammer down and was like wow did the ***** just drop?

 

forgetting the maf or map sensor are we?

the ecm calculates fuel based on those readings and rpm as well! if it was strictly tps by rpm, that would be more like a carburetor, commonly known as alpha-n.
Tps is used more for throttle dip-in adjustment and snapping of the throttle instant fuel delivery to overcome a sudden bog.

 

yea.... i guess u could run it without the TPS but ive tried and it didnt lol. the TPS shouldnt affect anything but throttle blade position. it shouldnt really affect max HP of the engine etc. which is what i was trying to say. aka no increased ***** bc u disconnected something that only shows the ECM throttle blade positon... and what traviz stated.

 

thanks.
