tps gone possibly

Post by neon angel » Mon Mar 31, 2008 8:24 pm

how do you know if your tps is out? when i set the apexi up so it knows when the throttle is close it says Close- 0.6% and Open-3.8% so dose this mean my tps is gone?

your TPS will be gone when your ECU says so, not your safc. :)

you seem to be having major problems with that safc. i think its just time for you to get rid of that crap and use the money for other supporting mods.

its supposed to read rich at wot. If it doesn't, your motor goes boom. Even with a mag intake and the cam, your computer will pull timing/correct fuel on its own to keep you in the safe zone. You won't need fuel tuning until you go stand-alone engine management, and then youll be able to make those corrections thru that, making the safc a redundant, obsolete system.
