how do i do it. ive done numerous searches, but cannot find out how to exactly. ive read here and in the manual u need approx 0.6v closed and 4v fully opened.

i measured the signal cable (middle) when i disconnected the harness but from that side of things im getting battery 12v from the middle cable. from the TPS side i get nothing, obviously as ive disconnected the harness.. can someone help me adjust or check if my TPS is out of place?

cheers

tom9999 if ur car runs rich it may be a few different things. as long as its running rich its much safer than lean.

ok thanks heaps. one dude said its too rich and he said he was going to adjust the tps so yeah i didnt want him to just incase like you said safer to run richer than leaner.[i know skylines are meant to run rich]

tom9999 maybe also try replacing the O2 sensor and make sure the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose is connected properly..

ive adjusted my TPS to 0.5v on my r32 and it has fixed my high idle problem.

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
