Throttle Position Sensor: Adjustments

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

This procedure can be used to check and/or adjust level C sensors only:

1.

Install an EEC-IV Breakout Box, Rotunda T83L-50 EEC-IV, or equivalent.

2.

Attach a DVOM, on 20V scale. Connect (+) to Pin 47 and (-) to Pin 46.

3.

Turn ignition key to Run position, (do not start engine).

4.

Adjust TP Sensor (rotate) until the DVOM reads 1.0V (0.9-1.1).

5.

Tighten TP Sensor screws to 1.2-1.8 N-m (11-16 lb-in).

6.

While watching the DVOM, move the throttle to wide open and back to idle position. For proper operation, the DVOM should move from 1.0 at
