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?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
