21 Throttle Position Sensor High

Take a quick look and see if it's still plugped in. If it is, try reseating it.

where is it on the carb any pics?

reseat the plug? or the senor

Sorry, I don't have any good pics. It's not too hard to find. It's a three-wire connector on the passenger side of the front of the carb. (NOT the M/C solenoid on the driver's side top.) It's the biggest electrical connector on the carb. The same lever the works the accelerator pump, works the TPS sensor. The sensor it's is buried inside the carb. Unplug the connector and plug it back it.


A scan tool (serach ebay for a OTC monitor) will display the TPS readout. This is an odd code to get. If someone has recently opened up the carb, it's likely they didn't get the TPS sensor back in correctly.

Sorry about the PM box, I just cleaned it up.

Yea, we had a miscommunication. I was looking for an aftermarket downpipe, he had a stocker. Andy was at Byron last time we were racing and I'll probably see him at the Buick Club meeting on Sunday.

This thread might help with TPS readings:

Too bad you're selling it. I was hoping to find another carb/turbo in the area to race with. Let me know if you need anything. I have a basement full of stuff.

In your case, I'd start looking for a used 200-4R out of a Monte Carlo SS. I've seen these go for just a couple of hundred in working condition.

I took mine to Jimmy's in Mundelein. He could do 200-4R's for under a $1000, which is a bargin IMO.
