hi all
right i bought myself a polished throttle body with the throttle postion sensor attached and when i place my one along side the tps are in different postions which i would expect and thinking i could just move new one into same postion for fitment but after reading haynes manual it says to get this set by fords
is this the case with the tps what would happen if i just set the new one the same as old one or am i asking for trouble , tobe honest all the years around rst stripping ,repairing them i have never had to change one
if it was not set right what are the signs of trouble

all u gotta do is set it to soon as u touch the throttle, it clicks!

 

mine needs adjsting aswell...can this clicking noise be heard when the engine is off? bit hard to hear anything on mine when the engine is running

 

yeah,its a micro switch click

 

Also make sure it clicks at WOT otherwise you'll be lean!

 

hi
so if i do it like this then fit new throttle body switch engine on not running with the screws holding tps loose ,operate throttle whilst looking at butterfly for slight opening then move tps untill it clicks would this do the trick
also do you know what to look out for if its not right setting/ further adjustment needed
many thanks

hi
(clicks at WOT) mmm puzzled is it with open throttle ( full throttle )
cheers
mark

Mine must be buggered as it only clicks initially when opening the throttle and not at WOT.

I removed it and used a flat headed screwdriver in the slot and still only one click.

This would explain my poor throttle response and lack of power above 4K revs hence the reason I been driving it around like a granny on the way to ASDA.

 

hi all
i only have a click as the throttle opens not WOT i have tried a couple of tps and they all do not click at WOT can someone clarify this , i do have a brand new one somewhere will try that in the week

Mine clicks just as you touch the throttle and this was etup by Jano at oddkidds.

 

same here mine was setup not long ago and only clicks as you touch throttle
out of the three i tried one did drop the revs by 100 rpm and was a git to start but that clicked not WOT though like all the others
put old one back in for now see what replies i see here

obviously karlos g giving out odd information as the 3 i've got here all only click once maybe he could up load a video for us of his clicking twice and the voltage along with it as as far as i'm aware they click so ecu knows when to run fuel shut of when slowing down as those with afr's in car will have noticed the guage read in the 20's when off throttle slowing down and it reads full throttle via voltage from tps not a click

 

Hmmmm maybe i am wrong?!
I have not actually checked my own to be 100% but i'm sure i read one of Stu's articles on the KE system and he said the ECU registers 3 positions, Shut, WOT, and in between (no microswitches active), it's definitely not a variable potentiometer though.
But it looks like the odds are against me!

Sorry!

 

There is a full load (WOT) switch inside, but it doesnt click, its a bladeswitch. I have uploaded a picture of it to my album.

 

The way i was told to do it is to push the tps onto the throttle body (will only go on one way) then turn the TPS clockwise towards the bulkhead till you here it click then tighten the screws. Now when you move the throttle arm you should hear the click again.

 

Thanks for that you are quite right!



But as you say it's a reed switch not a microswitch so will not click.

 

so do we have the setting sorted now gents i have set mine and no problems
