Throttle Position Sensor Values

91 F150 302

Adjusted mine from .87 to .97. Snugged the sensor down and still read .97. Replaced the throttle body and it read .99. Is this good enough? Or should I tear it back down again and try for the infamous .96?

Almost ready to get it out of the garage to test drive it. Seems to idle much better, but a minute or two is not much proof I suppose.....

I shall report back in shortly.

Took it out for about a 10 mile drive. Much better.

No more loading up at idle. I'm quite pleased with it the way it responded to the adjustment. If it's no problem at .99 and runs good I'm happy.

When I first put it in I got lucky because I had no idea it had to be adjusted. It ran great, but the screws were not tight enough and came loose and the performance got really ugly. I retightened them down but of course it was way out at .87.

Yeah thats fine, but it depends on whether or not you're measuring the voltage at the TPS or the 60 pin computer connector. The voltage may slightly decrease when going through the wires.
