49er. you need 4.9 to 5.0 volts on the reference line..not 5.5 thats to much and throws all settings off, but yes I know several people who use a quality computer power supply for setting them..I built my tester years agoand I need one that is usable when I dont have 110 around..?And yes you should alwaays check throttle cable freeplay after setting the tps....I went a different route and used an ATX Computer Power Supply to get my 5.5vdc and 12 vdc.....
Easy DIY Power Supply instructions on the web, basically all you have to do for a switch mode Power Supply is jump two specific pins on the main 24 Pin Block, outside of that it's elementary...make a harness, match polarity, and go.
I also used both a digital and analog mulitmeter........
Would it be better to check throttle cable slack before or after adjusting the TPS?
I would highly recommend a fluke meter..I have yet to see anyone build a better more accurate, durable meter..they do make inexpensive models compared to the one I use...if it was a tool I would only use once in a while(and once you get a good meter and start learning to use it, you will be amazed how much more it will be used and how much easier it becomes to diagnoise issues) I think I would be looking at the fluke 113 which is a basic meter but has all the functions needed to do most electrical diagnosis..You can expect to hand any fluke meter down to your kids when you no longer need it..they are just that good...here is the fluke store (if you hunt around you can find some smoking deals on fluke meters too) ...Ak, care to recommend a multi reader that will work for this and not break the bank?
only thing you might want would be the backprobes..they work really good for pushing into the back of connectors(without doing damage)...other wise that basic setup should do ya good..if you go to the fluke site, they have some good reads on proper operation and testing methods....Thanks for the info, meters are new to me so it's hard to justify dropping a lot of money but the 113 is reasonable. Would I need an extras for basic stuff like setting tps for now with that? I would assume not. Might make an offer on it I suppose.
B2.. Where did you get .74 Volts at??
Where did you take the reading from??
thanks
my idle volts at tps.. is like .913
yes....but be very very careful trying to use the tps to adjust mixtures..not a good idea...TPS settings seem to have a more pronounced effect from idle to 1/2 throttle then they do from 1/2 to full throttle...when the base voltage is higher, is that richer?
you can use an inexpensive power supply for a computer..the too run a dedicated 5 volt reference volt....ive bought 10 regulators from radio shack all are bad guess iam ordering some more from a computer store to hopefully have better luck
