Gday,

I'm wondering if anyway can tell me the values needed when aligning my TPS on my 98 TF 3 litre V6. In my haynes work shop manual it states to back probe terminals 2 and 4, 2 being +ve and 4 being -ve, with the voltage being 0.5-1.0 at closed throttle (ignition switch ON) and then 4.5-5.0 volts at WOT. Although 0.5-1.0 is a fairly large range, I was wondering if there was an exact value that is said to be the correct value. So far I've discovered that the closer to 0.5 at closed throttle the better the car seems to idle, I tried setting it at approx 0.75, half way between, and the idle was very erratic. Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

what effect will it have if this is slightly out of adjustment(sloppy shifts,early changes etc???) Cheers shaun btw on a te 4cyl

sounds like something which should be added to the FAQ when sexed susses it out

Not sure on the exact effects on auto trans shifts, but from what I can put together it can lead to mis-timed and harsh shifting. Apparently it also effects your fuel injection system. I aligned mine properly a week ago, and I've found an improvement in fuel economy already, gone from about 15 litres/100 km to 13litres/100 km, and so far I havn't had any of the occasional really harsh shifts that I used to have from time to time, although its only early days yet, and I'd still like to know wether or not I have it set to exactly the right value, or even if there is an exact right value, or even if its different from car to car.

I had mine done this year, the dealer wrote down that mine was 750mv and within spec and they ajusted down to 625mv to put into middle of spec??

Any idea what unit of measurement 625mv is?

millivolts?

millivolts?

Thats the first thing that came into my head to, but nah thats too easy. Although if 625 mv equals 0.6 volts then that would actually make sense.

micro?

.5 volt= 500mV (millivolts)

1 volt= 1000mv

1 bird in the hand= 2 in the bush

1 commo will never equal 1 Magna

:D

or a rolling stone = two in the bush

or a bird in the hand = gathers no moss

So does any one know if that means that 625 mv would be the optimum, or would it be car specific, and vary from 6g72 to 6g74? Wheres dave when you need him.
