Aligning the throttle position sensor ..and where is it

[Fil M]

Hello all,

 

Re my post a couple of places below I have found out the info I need to set / check my TB balance. The only bit of advice given I am struggling to get info on is how to align the throttle position sensor ( and where it is on the 7 so as not to align the wrong thing!) If its a simple physical adjustment I can do it .. if it involves laptops I can't at this time in my educa7ion. I am trying to not bother Oily hands as i am sure he is a busy man earning his crust. Anyone able to give me an idiots step by step?

 

thanks Fil

Isn't it a case of ignition on (don't start the engine), press throttle pedal fully to floor and fully release five times, then ignition off.

Now that is something I can do! and it does sound familiar. Thankyou Stationary. Now I am an internet purchase away from sorting the throttle bodies and aligning the TPS.

 

Cheers

That technique only works for a plenum based engine running on a Mems ECU and single throttle body, if you have throttle bodies and an MBE, the procedure is rather different.

Thankyou Oily,

 

I have found the answer and yes ... it is more complicated involving lap top and access to the MBE. I must search blat chat more thoroughly!

 

Thanks for your time *thumbup*
