TPS

[jrad240sx]

ok heres my problem i am running one belt for my ka and it is super hard to get to my tps while is running. so i drop my alternator to get to it from underneath and i start it and set it before it gets warm cause the belt also runs my water pump. The problem is i set the tps turn it off check it and then put belt back on then start again operating temp. and then the tps is off. Im wondering if it being off after i set it has to do with it not being to operating temp. or if its just going bad???? has anyone set theirs without letting it get up to operating temp?

Your supposed to set tps when car is off ignition on.

i thought you always had it running to make sure it was certain dc volt while idling which is .45-.50 volts

Car has to be off..once u adjust the tps when it's off,it won't chage after u turn the car on it will stay the same as u set it up..

so even though ignition is on it will read .45-.5? i must be a moron then i could have sworren that you had to have it running.... lol
