I don't think there is any calibration as such? The sensor senses how far open it is and feeds the signal to the ECU as far as I know.

Adjusting your cable is another story. Take out the slack, and you could use a consult cable and software to confirm WOT. (with the car ignition on, but not running)

what i mean about calibration is so the tps is sending the right signals to the ecu cause at the moment i think the tps is out of its right position, meaning that is prob sending a signal that the throttle is like 5% open when its actually closed.

i just want to know how to set the tps back to the right position so its like 0% thorttle and the ecu is actually reading 0% thorttle

get me?

there has to be another way, like using a voltimeter using the resistants on it etc etc

It can be done that way, you will need to find out the correct voltage for it (EG: the 300zx tps is set to 0.45v at 0%) the easiest way to do it is to find the correct voltage for closed throttle and then get a multi metre in there and set it to it. If you have someone with either a consult cable or an ecutalk lcd display this can be done easily (5 mins)

yeah you can just use a multimeter to check the voltage. the voltage should be around 0.45v when closed. this is pretty standard for a lot of nissans. pretty sure the sr20 is also the same. there will always be a slight variance though. i'm not sure exactly what the allowable margin is, but if yours is dramatically different then i'd have a play around with it. if i get time i'll have a look through some stuff i have and see if it says.

Sorry for dig up this topic, hopefully i'm in the right place to post my problem. Currently my car(bnr34) MFD show the throttle reading at 1-2% when idle, for what I know it should be 0% when idle, I pop-up my bonnet and check the stop-screw, it is backed off without touching the throttle linkage(1mm gap), but why the reading show 1-2% when idle? Will TPS cause the MFD throttle reading like this?

your MFD is probably guessing what '0%' means. e.g. if it has decided 0.44v is 0%, then if its reading 0.46v then it will show as 1-2%. maybe there is a setting in the MFD to calibrate the 0/100% throttle voltages?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
