i tested the tps and on test 2 and 3 the ohm meter didn't move. test 1 is 500 test 4 is 6.0k and test 5 is 8.5k. can i adjust it or clean it or is the TPS toast?? if its toast where is the cheapest place to buy a replacement?

 

What are the specks on you vehicle? i am parting out a 89 3VZE engine.

 

spec.1987 22re
1 vta-e2, 200-800
2 idl-e2, <2.3k
3 idl-e2, open-infinite
4 vta-e2, 3.3k-10k
5 vcc-e2 3.0k-7.0k

this is what the tps read
1 500
2 meter did not move. open?
3 same as 2
4 6.0k
5 8.5k

is the Tps toast?? could this cause a crappy idle for a hour then run great other times? is $85 for a new one at napa a decent deal? Thanks for all the help

 

trouble code's 7 and 11

7. throttle position sensor signal- open/short
11. switch signal-neutral start switch ON (22R-E)or IDL point in throttle position sensor is off during diagnostic check

would i be right to say the TPS is junk??

 

Have you tried to adjust it yet? That will throw everything off if it's not set properly.

Pull the EFI fuse for 10 minutes after you get it all set, that will reset the computer and CE light, unless it still senses a problem.

 

no i have not tried adjusting it yet. How can you get the little philips screw loose without taking the throttle body off?

 

You dont, you gotta remove the throttle body. I just unbolted it from the intake then unscrewed the bottom one. No need to drain the coolant. After that, put some allen's in instead of the phillips.

 

yup...
