Hey dude,
I just have a few questions. I ripped apart my passenger side kicker panel - removed the panel, the fan motor and the bottom half of the fan ducts so I could get at the ATCU. Now, I've taken pictures of what I've found thus far...
This is I think the ATCU, which was right above the bigger elec. control unit on the side wall right near the front. My manual wasn't the greatest but I'm pretty sure that's the atcu.
This is where it gets weird. I went to test the voltages across the TPS but...there was no power or ground wire for the tps, according to my manual.
These were the 2 plugs from the unit:
According to the manual, pin 3 and 5 are supposed to be the power to the TPS...but as you can see from the picture below, there are NO wires in those spots! It's supposed to be a 12 volt reading or whatever my battery is at, and then the tps is closed throttle .4-4 Open throttle...
I guess my main question is if I'm checking the right component and pins. Also, can I just unplug the connections and test without them plugged in, or do they have to be plugged in.
I'm going to give it another go tomorrow morning...It was so damn hot this afternoon I had to jump into the 60* pool to cool off....that really took my breath away It's finally been nice enough to get the pool up and runnin
