Rb25 tps question...yes I've searched need clarity

Hi guys I've been searching on the forum and I am getting mixed info on what the tps for an rp25 should be set at for WOT.

 

I adjusted throttle plate closed to 0.50v and when I check WOT I'm reading like 4.1-4.2v

I searched and found a thread saying this was correct however another person said that's incorrect and it should be same as rb20.. 0.50 closed and 4.5 wide open.  Can one of the guru set me straight on this please? 

So now went through with my haltech to read voltages at idle and wot and I'm getting 0.00v...Looking like I need a new TPS need to ohm it out to be sure though

Update: 

Pulled connector apart and verified that terminals have good connection.  back probed with meter and with throttle plate closed got .49v however occasionally it will drop and read no voltage until I slowly move the plate open.  When throttle plate is opened WOT I had a max reading of 5.02v.  

Thinking the TPS must be bad since voltage is high and there is an occasional dead spot on the potentiometer when at idle position.

Yes I have kiwi I ohmed it out according to that it's good the part the I don't understand is where it says with plate closed it should read 4.2 to 5.2v closed.

It then says keeps measuring as you open and should increase smoothly to 4.1-4.6v. 

So obviously the closed voltage is a typo. I do have more then the specified voltage with the throttle plate open which is why I'm leaning towards the tps being bad.

 

Seems like I always get you to respond hah. Thanks for the help is much appreciated ^^

Two wired will read a high voltage and two will read a low voltage on a 3 pin potentiometer. Vice versa when you move the throttle all the way to the other pos

It is probably referring to the output voltage getting to the TPS with throttle closed needing to be around 5v

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
