Just curious, but is replacing the TPS as easy as taking the old one out and
bolting on the new one? I have seen quite a few websites which say TPS
Sensors need to be 'adjusted' before installation. What is this about? Since
replacing the CTS, the truck does idle smooth during cold startups. The Borg
Warner TPS I ordered($23) is in, but want to make sure installation is as
easy as I thought it would be, before I screw it up. I have taken the TPS
out before, just never replaced it and was wondering about 'adjusting' it.
Here is the quote I found:
"Also, be aware that a TPS needs to be properly adjusted at the time of
installation. If it isn't indexed properly, the ECM might not allow the
engine to receive adequate fuel under wide-open throttle conditions. This is
an adjustable sensor!" Other websites say basically the same thing. After
this TPS Sensor goes in, I will have replaced the CTS, TPS, and AIS Sensors;
all of which so far has helped my Dak run better. I guess at 124,500 miles,
the sensors do get alittle worn out! THANKS!
