To test the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on a 1997 Chevy Lumina, first, locate the TPS on the throttle body. Use a multimeter to check the voltage output by connecting the positive lead to the sensor's signal wire and the negative lead to a ground. With the ignition on (but the engine off), the voltage should be around 0.5 to 1.0 volts at closed throttle and increase smoothly to about 4.5 to 5.0 volts at wide open throttle. If the readings are outside these ranges or show erratic behavior, the TPS may need replacement.

If the idle is too high, it is likely the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). If repeatedly stopping an restarting the vehicle solves the issue (temporarily) then the TPS is the problem.

How do you test a TPS on a 1991 S10?

To test the throttle position sensor (TPS) on a 1991 Chevy S10, you'll need a multimeter. First, locate the TPS on the throttle body and disconnect the electrical connector. With the multimeter set to measure voltage, probe the middle terminal of the TPS while slowly moving the throttle from closed to wide open; you should see a smooth increase in voltage. If the voltage is erratic or doesn't change appropriately, the TPS may be faulty and should be replaced.
