So, for an S4 @ idle I should be between .95-1k from terminals A to B.

At WOT I should be between 4k and 6k. My question is.... do I want to be more near 6k, or closer to 4k? 2k is a really wide range to be between. Just wondering what end of the spectrum would be better.

Also, is that true from terminals A to C. Because those are also 4k to 6k.


Thanks guys.

 

When setting the TPS, motor must be warmed to temp to ensure that the linkage is not on the fast idle cam. Your adjustment will be made at idle, so adjust to 1k ohm, if you choose this method as some use volts, but I always finalize the setting using the Mazda factory connections. The 4/6 k ohms is just a check to be certain the TPS is sending a proper signal when throttle wide open. As the TPS could deteriorate to the point that a wide opened throttle condition is not recognized by the ecu because of an improper signal transmitted through the TPS.

 

Thank you.

 

You want it to be at 1k at rest and 5k at WOT. That's where you want to be. However, I'm not sure it makes much of a difference whether it's closer to 4k or 6k.

Also check for dead spots because those are killer. It use an analog multimeter (or whatever the ones with needles are called). I move the plunger slowly and look for the needle to suddenly deviate from a normal rise. That's not near as easy to do with a DMM.
