Det_Riot Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I thought the restrictor plate complete blocked it out? So you dont even have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy95GT Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I thought the restrictor plate complete blocked it out?

95riosnake Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 You have the 94-95 style TB still right? If so, here's a how-to:http://www.muscularmustangs.com/tps.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy95GT Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yea mine is still a 94-95 style, until I switch it to a foxSent from my phone using tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy95GT Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 So I checked it, I checked it with the grey/pink wire and could lnt get it to register, then I checked it with the grey wire and got .66, seems to be low...

95riosnake Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Yea you're looking for it to be between .98 and .99 volts. Just loosen the screws and twist the sensor slightly until the voltage is where it needs to be, then tighten the screws. My car wouldn't stay running at all after the Fox TB conversion without proper TPS voltage, once I got it adjusted it idled quite well. I found the holes in my TPS sensor wouldn't allow me to twist it quite enough to get the voltage where I needed it, so I took a drill bit the size of the holes in the TPS sensor and while the bit was spinning, I put pressure to one side of the hole in the direction I needed more room. It didn't take much, maybe 1/64" to get enough room to twist the sensor enough for proper voltage.And yes the gray/white stripe wire is the test wire, the all gray wire is ground or you can touch your negative test lead to something like a strut tower bolt for ground.

64bit_Tuning Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 If you installed a restrictor gasket, and you still have a hanging idle, you might want to find and fix your vac leak.And don't say you dont have one. Because you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 ^ +1 checking for a vacuum leak is another route that should be explored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy95GT Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Lol I could have a vacuum leak but shit, I don't know where it is lol... How do I exactly find the obvious ones? Sent from my phone using tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy95GT Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 **update**So yesterday when I checked my tps it was about .66 which is low, today I called the shop that tuned my car and he told me that when they tried to put the tps up to .9 or whatever its suppose to be that the car would not idle at all... Is this a problem? I'm really starting to think this "tuner" really isn't that smart, seems like the only thing my tune fixed was the car was overheating ans the cel.. but not my driveability issues like idling and so fourthSent from my phone using tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant imagine that a reputable tuner would just let you go tuning around other problems. I know my tps was out when I got tuned and he wouldnt tune it until we got a good one in my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy95GT Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 When I first put the motor in, all it did was surge and over heat, they tuned it with a delta force chip and fixed the fan control and deleted the egr, but now the idle still surges, cuts off randomly, once I push in the clutch to shift it will hang, when I come to a complete stop and put it in neutral it hangs at 2k for a few then gradually comes back down.... Needless to say right now I'm stumped and don't know what to doSent from my phone using tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Are all your vacuum lines hooked up to the tree? An easy way to find a vacuum leak is while the engine is off, Grap a stoagie light it up and enjoy it for a few minutes. Then once its nice and lit, pull of a vacuum line and blow the smoke from your stoagie into it. Sounds crazy but it works. Once you blow, plug the line you blew into with your finger. I believe when I did it, I used the one from the brake booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 if you have a fog machine that works too. But stoagies allow you to regulate the smoke level LOL callll up ferocious and have him come hookah for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64bit_Tuning Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Everyone needs to keep in mind that stupid things like a loose oil dipstick, loose PCV valve and failing brake booster can also create vac leaks. The best way to find your leaks is to literally unplug EVERYTHING that is connected to your manifold, and cap off the ports (except the EGR and FPR). then one at a time reconnect items until the problem is found.I had a huge write up with pictures and whatnot, I just need to find it.I usually see intake manifold gaskets as a huge contributor. When I replace manifold gaskets, I always use a very thin bead of blue RTV silicone around the intake ports. Helps eliminate those pesky leaks that you really cant find.
