Setting up the tps in an efi

[Bloodyaussie]

Guys I was wanting to know how you go about setting up the tps properly in my efi gq... when I was having trouble with it and sorted it I never set it.. I just wacked it in and adjusted it till the idle felt right, this was nearly 8 months ago.

Now the car is idling high and I got told a number of times to set up the tps then muck around with the idle via the proper adjustment for the petrol and gas?????

[Bloodyaussie]

Wow..... how about then... whats involved with a 2 inch lift????

Use the search function mate its been covered loads of times.

Motorculture... Let's try this again!

I think the tps is set by determining the amount of resistance and setting to the correct resistance for idle?

You dont need castor correction for a 2 inch lift.
Clean your MAF sensor

[Bloodyaussie]

I dont know how to set a tps, maybe adjust until it idles right, I am sure some could lend you a hammet lol

Disconnect the battery for at least half an hour and check all earth straps.

hows the weather been hey?

[Parksy]

Do you have a consult cable? This makes setting the tps easy. At idle it should register a voltage of about .4 volts. Might be able to back probe with a multimeter, but not I'm not entirely sure which pins to use.

[Drewboyaus]

Ahhhh, fark this thread made me laugh.
Parksy has dropped in as the straight man....
LMAO


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

[happygu]

Can't really help with the TPS, but 2inch lifts are a cinch ......

Yeah this cable is news to me mate... I would really like to get this right before the next trip!!!

[Parksy]

Just a cable to plug a laptop up to your truck and using certain software you can monitor engine parameters and stuff like that.

It doesn't have the Patrol listed but its for the TB42 so it might be the same....

[Bloodyaussie]

So is this the one I buy?

ECUTalk USB Consult Cable ($80 + post)

[Parksy]

Yes. Then download the software listed on the website.

[Bloodyaussie]

Thanks Parksy I have placed order and will sit here happily waiting for package to arrive.......

[Bloodyaussie]

All I can say is I want to smash computers......... why cant it just be plug and play for tech idiots like myself?

Wheres the keys to my gun safe?

[Parksy]

What's the issue? I might be able to help.

[Bloodyaussie]

My laptop will not load software and I followed the instructions on the website but not sure if I am missing something??

To cold and tired to go outside now...

[Parksy]

No idea then. Did the file save to your computer? Is it a PC or a mac? It doesn't need installing, it's just a single file that opens when double clicked. Don't know what your computer is doing so can't help you there.
