Engine idling issue

[lonsomecrow]

Is there any thread/post for this process? I will try to search in this forum.

Use a torx bit to remove/replace the TPS. It is easy, however you will probably need to use a spanner (or wench) to turn the socket as there isn't much room to fit the driver to the socket. Igt is a 10-15 minute job, despite what the manual states.

He'll need the program to set the values tho ... Doesn't say if aware of what the tuning programs are... btw yes there are loads of threads available

Yes I'm not aware of tuning programs and don't have tuneboy.

If you have the computor program ( Tuneboy or Tune Ecu) then its a very simple job ... humm well it is if you have triple filters on, & junked all the old airbox plumbing... not so sure whats accessable if not? Assuming you can connect the jack socket in, the 'motor ' end of the TPS is simply bolted on with a T star bolt; behind the 3rd throttle body( the one nearest the seat) Plug in your laptop & tuning program, rotate the tps end til it reads 0.6V on the test screen, hold firmly in place & tighten the bolt up. Then hit the reset ISCV button on the laptop screen ( tuning program.) job done! Do you know what the TPS cable looks like? where it sits? & do you have familiarity with the tuning programs? if NOT.. get the dealer to do it, & get learning! you WILL need to know tuning programs, they're too useful not to know.

I assume you do both these steps with the key on, engine not running? Have some idle issues myself. I have tune ECU

yes keys on engine switch on not running though.
whats basically happening is you eltronically move the stepper motor so the throttle plate is closed. Then you are settign the TPS value to .60 volts +- .02 volts.
Next you opening the stepper motor the amount it moves in the idle control area and checking for correct movement of .12 volts so your tps reading would then be .72.
once any if needed adjustments are made hitting the iscv reset again zeros out all stored data and resets the adaptives in the ecu.
Hope this helps.

Stupid me...Does this soound like a head gasket..in the "old days". Sure seems like an avenue..Just my two cents.
Power loss..green fluid on the ground! Give me a break!
