To unplug the TPS or not?

[912.0turbo]

Sup guys.Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving . I know that when doing the timing the manual says to let the car warm up, unplug the tps, and then set your timing to 15 degrees. But I've heard conflicting stories and comments and some say to unplug the tps and some say not to unplug the tps. So which one do you guys do? Leave it plugged in or unplug it?

The FSM says to unplug it, and that's what I do. Personally, I believe what the FSM tells me before someone on a forum.

Why would you let the car warm up and then unplug the TPS to set the timing for? What the point in doing that? Not saying anybodys wrong, just wondering why exactly you would do that?

i think it has to do with when you try to adjust the timing that the car will try and fight it and you can tell because the idle will speed up or slow down. i'm guessing unplugging the tps stops it from fighting the timing change.

becuase your outputs from a few sensors varies with temp, also you have cold start up mode for the comp... the timing changes as you approach operating temp....

I tried to time my sr with it plugged in and it was just pissing me off and not working, then I read somewhere your supposed to unplug it, took 5min to time it after that.
