mikey4410 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Hey guys, just found this link for how to setup a tps correctly.I just wanted to confirm that this tutorial applies for a glanza aswell as a gt turbo please as it doesnt state either way.http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showwiki.php?title=TPS+throttle+position+sensor+set+up+procedure Quote
Gainzy Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I really hope it doesn't cause I just broke mine that looks a bugger having to take off the mani aswell Quote
gorganl2000 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 i know my glanza (previously and automatic which was converted to manual) has a 4 wire tps and i had to end up using another guide i found on the internet is your tps 3 wire or 4 wire? Quote
Gainzy Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Mine is to, really hope the mani doesn't have to come off Quote
daniel_g Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Ive used that guide to set up TPS on a Glanza and a GT and my 85.Mine is to, really hope the mani doesn't have to come off You can take the throttle body off the inlet without taking the inlet off the engine. Its only 4 bolts. Probably best to order a new gasket as its only like 4 quid. And ffs mark where your VAC & water pipes go or you'll end up with a sump full of coolant haha. Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Thats what I wanted to hear daniel g.thanks so much.and yeah not a bad idea removing whole throttle body. Alot easier. As for the water and vacuum feeds--I havent got any waters as I blocked them of and deactivated the wax stat.thanks for your time daniel g.all the best to you Quote

gorganl2000 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 a new sensor would need setting up once you more the tps in any way it will need resetting as the clearances are marginal ---- as you can see from the ttgt guide with 20 thou and 28 thou feeler gauges Quote

mikey4410 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 It still needs setting up.i did mine last night, took me about 30 mins to really get it right and my god it was out.then for fun I redid it and took me 3 mins to do.lol. Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Link work's great by the way guys, I would advise everybody to check there tps as I bet loads of them are out.this will make a difference I would have thought Quote
Gainzy Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks for the link going to do minewhen I get a sensor sorted Quote
jimlols Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Does anyone have information on the NA tps? Had it apart and it appears to just be a on off switch, and that's how I've been assuming it is, but currently its unplugged while I change some things about so figured I'd clarify, if I get chance before someone chimes in I'll just check it with a multimeter Quote
gorganl2000 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks for the help I will just put a second hand one on so it won't mess up any clearance's, will take the throttle body off and change the gasket. just to be clear, a new or 2nd hand tps will need to be set up if you dont want to set up one, your best bet is to buy a 2nd throttle body WITH the same sensor as yours and install it-----assuming the tps on it is already set up and working properly...this is a lot of hassle it would be easier to just get what you have reset/recalibrated as mikey4410 stated, its not that hard to do if you have the tools and its probably the cheaper option Quote

Can the throttle body be taken off and the tps set up or does everything have to be on the car? Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Dont attempt to do it on the car.its a little tricky when its off and it front of you lol. Seriously though do take it off and do it on a flat workbench and it wont take 20 mins I reckon. Has made a big difference on mine with responsiveness and idle. Sooo worth doin Quote
