93 FIPL Sensor Adjust
I recently installed a new FIPL. I referred back to my notes that were submitted by a member (Technical Bulletin #186A). I attempted to adjust with no luck.
First of all, the bulletin states "wire A is the reference voltage (orange/white) from the computer. (5 volts) My wire C is the reference voltage and it is brown/white.
Next, it refers to wire B (the middle wire) as the ground path. My B terminal is the throttle opening signal and is Gray/white.
I went ahead and attempted to set the range of the FIPL at 1.2 to 4.5 volts. The highest I could set is 4.1 with the idle end at 1.5. Thinking I would never go to wide open throttle, I went ahead and set the idle at 1.2 volts (according to the bulletin) which gives me a WOT setting of 3.6. Whatever I tried, I was unable to get a sweep of 1.2 to 4.5. I don't know which number is more important. I initially tried 1.5-4.1 and it shifted poorly. I haven't tried driving 1.2-3.6. I don't know what to do. I tested the switch out of the truck and it has the capability of going way past 4.5. Am I just not getting WOT?
Your help would be appreciated

Not surev8f 5his is what you are referring to.
Check your batteries if you have less than 12 volts you can not get the 5 volt referance
