I have an original or just aged looking AC Delco on the '87 and it has a dead spot from 3.01v through 4.59v. Goes right from 3.01 to 4.59(but does top out at 4.60v) which is likely in the region of WOT so I'm not sure how much it matters, but nonetheless, it's a dead spot. Don't even see the dead spot in the voltage on the logs from a WOT pull though. Tried a new Standard from Orileys and same problem. Dead spot in the same exact region. Coincidence or...? Then, I tried a 2nd Standard TPS from Orileys and it would only register about .01v all throughout the sweep. These voltages were checked in Powerlogger.
The '86 has a BWD TPS bought from Advance Auto back in 2014, and it works perfectly 6 years later. No dead spots at all.
The guy at Orileys said that BWD was bought by Standard at some point, so I guess they're all the same now? Search brought up an interesting thread from 2012 so I'm wondering what everyones found about the parts house TPS in the past 8 years? (other than that they're a crap shoot)
