TPS Problem
 

Just have one question to ask. I'm getting ready to get my emissions done on my car, but first I'm having a problem. The problem is my tps sensor. If I leave it plugged in it runs like crap, but if I unplug it, it runs fine. What I mean by fine is no hesitation, nothing. If I hook it back up it runs really bad, hesitation, back fire, etc. The funny thing is I don't even have a check engine light on when I have it hooked up. I know its suppose to .50v. Any info will help me out greatly

Thx.

I have experienced these sensors in the past with an open in them, causing hesitation, jumpy acceleration, etc. Might as well replace it.

Make sure that you're actually plugging the correct sensor in to the TPS, there are often identical connectors in the same area so you may be plugging in the wrong one.

The car shouldn't be running, and there is no need for it to be.. You'll have electrical noise problems with the engine running and it will be harder to get a consistent reading without jitter on the voltmeter. The ECU will be powered with the key in the ON position and engine not running, and will supply 5V transducer power to the sensors.

I believe the factory manuals say 0.5V.....
