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.
The TPS needs to b change
The Throttle Position Sensor is located on the throttle body on the opposite side of the accelerator cables.
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.
On my 1997 Silverado the TPS is right in the accelerator pedal. Look close at your pedal for the wire and plug in module.
tps will be located other side ofthrotle to accel cable check for clean connection at tps plug replace tps unless you can test unit dave.cop
Im pretty sure that it doesn't need to be set just put it back on the same way you take the old one off.
There is a test procedure for that using an ohm meter. Consult a Chilton's or similar repair manual.
sounds like a damged tps,change the throttle position sensor,goodluck from jay!
NO ajust on tps sensor,. Replace
could be a bad TPS throttle position sensor OR a bad IAT idle air control temp sensor.
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.
its easy it a sensor between the air filter housing and the throttle body with a wire harness connector on it. It shold be attached by 2 little torques head (kind of looks like a star) screws
