Hesitation....

Hope someone out there can help.

I just replaced my TPS. Now, I have picked up a hesitation when I first apply the gas. It is only for a split second or two then it starts acting normal. This is happening every time I get off and then back on the pedal.

Could it be a faulty unit oris there any type of adjustment that I can do to it? Or could it be that there is something else not quite right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

'85 XLT, 302 FI.

Thanks, Frank.

Here's a link I have to testing most TPS.

If your TPS is adjustable, then you need to adjust it first and get the proper voltage at IDLE.

New TPS will be destroyed and becomes bad if someone tries to clean it with Carb or Trottle body cleaner. TPS must be not be cleaned by any solvents. If TPS goes bad then just replace it.
