Series 4 or 5? Turbo or NA? Always include this info with your posts, or at least put it in your profile.

Here is the illustration from the FSM.
There is a link to the complete manuals in my sig below.


Here is a pic of the TPS on the front of my S5 TB.
The adjusting screw is in the foreground.

Figured I'd just tack on to this thread...

Anyone have the same pic but for an 87 TII?

And maybe a pic of the check connector you're supposed to connect LED's to when you adjust the TPS? I think the FSM shows it being near the oil filler line somewhere but a picture of exactly where would be terrific...

It's the only green 3-pin plug in the whole engine bay, and it's not plugged into anything. You can't miss it.

I found it to be fairly indifferent to you turning it, so crank away. Could also have something to do with mine being shot.
Also, that's a really clean engine bay. What do you use to clean it?
