    Default Tps adjustment

    What is the adjustment/check procedure for the TPS as I cannot locate it in the manual? Is it possible to adjust the TPS when the TB is off the intake?

    It needs to be hooked up to the car and key on so it has power, to adjust it. It really isnt that important as pushedv by internet lore, it has a pretty wide range the computer will read and it resets with each key start. Meaning you dont have to have it right at .99 volts, etc. Computer allows a wider range.

    I made a "jumper" kinda thing by cutting up an old sensor and harness then i plug that in between the exising TPS and car wiring harness, so i can read easily and adjust tps.

    I have another TB I want to put on the Turbo Coupe just because it's better looking and have a new TPS mounted on it. So realistically it should be fine if it's in the approximate location as the other one?

    In the 2.3l turbo introduction manual it says the TPS on it isnt adjustable, despite showing there is the ability to adjust it.

    Most likely, yes.

    I have the physical book of it i keep in the car instead of a haynes manual since its more specific.
