hey so i just adjusted my TPS with it sitting at around 1kOhm with it closed and 4k at WOT...SO....my question is should the Rtek read 25% throttle at idle? before i adjusted it it read 11% and the ohms were at like .5 or something really kinda close to 0 the damn screw was almost all the way out....anyone got any answers to that one? the car is warm and is idling LOW....and is jsut about dead?!?! let me adjust it and come back

 

S4 tps maybe? Short range tps instead of full range as in S5.

 

yea i have an S4 what percentage should the S4 be at idle? also one of my OMP lines broke as my buddy was tilting the engine slightly...to help me align the tranny so im premixing....the broken line is also causing a vac leak isnt it? AND pour yummy oils all over the place too huh....im going to get teflon lines this week to replace those fool *** plastic lines....i dont mind premixing acually...so i dunno what i wanna do...well in input on any of these issues would be fabulous!

 

Have you tried the RTEK forum? someone might be able to answer that.

 

hmm havent tried that

 

ok with that aside....lets go to number 2....my car dies when i hit a bump...or a pothole....like its dead...lights are on and i can pop clutch start it....and even turn it over....its not like im letting off the gas it just plain dies...i have an MSD thats not working right but i dunno if thats the problem....would the coils NOT being bolted in tight enough do this? id didint think that would be it....thanks for your input if anyone has any info on any of that let me know plz thannks!

 

A properly set series four tps will read one (1vdc) when set right. There is a possible range of up to five volts max at wide open throttle.

One volt is twenty percent of the possible five. My RTEK 2.0m reads 20 percent at idle with a fully hot engine. In other words its normal.

The ignitor in the coil assy gets its ground thru the coil assy chassis mating to the fender. If you set a coil assy on a bunch of rags on the fender, the sucker won't spark a'tall.

Even one of the four bolts of the coil assy being bolted down to the car chassis will do the trick. All four are better.

 

sanding the surface contact areas and using some dielectric grease helps out too, kinda extreme but it helps.

 

oh very interesting! indeed!! i have one bolt and its kinda not properly mated (was in the middle of MSD UNINSTALL wonder if that could be why my MSD isnt working correctly?!?! WOW and possibly hesitation too?! very awsome info guys! i never new that at all! SO.....ill be bolting it down and ill report back!!!

my MSD digital 6 plus.....its wired up...correctly...(because i drive it around town....) but no rev limit...and the led is blinking slowly constantly...meaning its got a problem...any insight on that i have spoken to MSD they told me to check power and grounds....they are BOTH connected strait to battery.....all connection solderd.....hmm well anyways...any info tips or past experiance would be neato to hear!

thanks ALOT im surprised yet kickin my self in the *** like DUH!!!
