Just got down doing a swap and I guess I am just having crappy luck with my TPS(s)

First TPS: OHM check (failed) would only go from 1k to 1.4k ohms
Second TPS OHM check won't go past 1k
Thrid TPS (I can't find that mother %&*$#) in my garage.


If the TPS is out of the car and at rest... What is it suppose to read.


My car is lossing power at 2200 rpm and I think this is the reason. (please god I hope)

Also, I bought a rtek from a forum member and the fuel cut off doesn't work and I am guessing its because of the TPS. If not I guess I have to open the ecu to see if the chip is in there. I did buy it from a trusting member. But ECU has no upgrade sticker.

 

Out of the car and at rest it would probably read open.

How are you checking them??? In the car ??? Out of the car???

 

The tps unbolted compressed all the way to open never exceeds 1k on both of them.

 

all the way compressed would be past the usedable range.

Slowly press/ compress while checking.

And what wires are you metering?

 

Yeah, I checked it compressed to all the way open.

I am using the black and green wires.

 

So far the leading coil was bad. The wires going to the two nuts were broken and I can see a vac hose popped out from under the UIM, So I will be removing the UIM tomorrow. Hopefully this solves my problem.
