Well i just checked my TPS voltage to try and sort out an idling issue

I've read that it should be around 0.4v closed and 4v fully open

I stabbed the 2 wire plug that comes off the tps with a multimeter and it's reading 10.6v closed, while the car is running:blink:

With the car off it was 9.5v closed and 12.5v open

Am i taking the reading from the wrong place?

Anyone know why it's so high?

On an RB20 by the way

It misses at idle and fluctuates from 700-900rpm

It misses and jerks a bit when shifting quickly on boost too

edit: There were 2 plugs coming off the sensor, one with 2 wires on the side of it and another one with 3 wires coming out from the bottom of it

I only tested the one with 2 wires, im assuming its the right one because the voltage did change when i opened the throttle

iv managed to adjust my tps so it was ideling at a nice level but it still peaks at around 1100-1200 sometimes and other times when i start the car after driving it wont idle properly and will cut out/stall straight away. alot of the time it will fluctuate between 600-900 and cause jerking around 3000 rpm.

im thinking of getting a new tps so i can eliminate a faulty tps and also maybe clean my throttle body too, as i have already cleaned my aac.

other suggestions on the forum is the cold start.

Im guessing, but i think the 2 wire plug is for auto trans. The three wire plug is for the ecu. The only way that it can be above 5v is if there is a wiring problem, or the voltage reg in the ecu has short circuted, which is very unlikely. Unplug the tps, and check the supply voltage, should be 5v

i got some throttle body cleaner and gave it a good clean. started my car and it idled at 1100 and within about 10 sec it bounced to 1500!. i then adjusted my tps so it droped to 1100. took it for a quick drive, to see how it goes with a clean throttle body, and wouldnt idle lower than 2500rpm! after i got going.

mind you it wasnt fluctuating when idleing, probably cause it was idling to high

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
