Stab it and steer it
Re: TPS Sensor help

On the back, rear end, of the throttle shaft. Usually pretty reliable though. Do a search on rough idle and sit back, you'll find plenty of stuff to look at and check.

Re: TPS Sensor help

I was just recently told that if your tps sensor does not say 0% at idle its a problem. Do you have datamaster. If you dont get it. You need it.

Re: TPS Sensor help

i fixed it , since it dosent reset untill it warms up, i thought well it never ever warms up and thats not good, so i swaped out the 160 for the 180 and instead of it heating up to less than quarter up the gauge it hit almost half, and it is night time hahaha, and when it hit a good temp it reset and now my throttle response and idle are perfect :woot: it ran so ****ing good . Im so stoked i thought it was an injector or somthing serious. Thanks for the help , now my baby runs and performs so clean and brisk, I am seriously happy, you guys rule

Yeah my truck is a cold blooded animal with my 160 stat in it. I figure it can use the extra cooling with the stock tranny cooler.
