tps #'s

[tford]

at idle they are .48
at wot they are 4.34
What does this mean? I know they are not in the range they should be in.
Can someone give me step by step instructions on adjusting this. What should these numbers be exactly? After they are in the correct range, will I notice a difference in the way the car performs? Thanks

Setting the TPS

Check out this web page for instructions. Usually the TPS is set at 42/44 at idel in park. WOT should be 4.4 or higher. I assume you have a Scanmaster in order to knopw these readings. If you don't have one, get one.

The best way I've found is to loosen both screws just enough to allow movement by hand. Slide the tps all the forward as far as it will go (WOT adjustment to max). then tighten the screws enough to not allow it to move from this forward position. Loosen the top screw just enough to allow the tps to hinge/swing on the bottom screw. You'll be moving the "nose" of the tps up or down to obtain the proper idle value. (.40-.42).
ONce you get the hang of it, this adjustment makes for really easy setting.
