Mike's 84 Corvette - Throttle Position Sensor Installation and Calibration

[@jackmanfredo1215]

Thanks Mike, us 84 owners gotta stick together. Watching you work on yours has helped me a lot.

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Glad to hear my videos have helped. We DO need to stick together!

[@anthonygray333]

Awesome! My TPS died and just started dumping fuel into the pots. I disconnected it and surprisingly it ran to get me home. Had no idea the positioning was so critical. Now I do!

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Nice! Glad to hear you got it all sorted out.

[@allencourtney824]

This video saved me. Took my TPS off to change my valve cover gaskets on my 82 CE. Put everything back and engine light came on as well as car running rough. After running across this video everything is good again. Thank!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Nice! Glad to hear it helped you!

Thanks Mike! As a new owner of a 1984 Corvette, your videos are helping me out tremendously. This will be something else I will need to look at.

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Glad to help another owner of an 84! Good luck and keep me posted on your progress.

Thank you Mike for this awesome video. I followed your instructions and adjusted the TPS on my '82 Collector Edition (crossfire). The idle was fluctuating up and down prior to my making the adjustment. Much appreciated (and I subscribed to your channel).

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Thanks for watching. I’m glad you got it all straightened out.

Brill mike .....mine was running rough.... followed your method ...wooow sweet as now....cheers bud....

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Awesome!!

[@davidv639]

Mike - thanks VERY much for making this video. Nice approach, camera and sound. You did a great job, and it will greatly help me to adjust my beloved `82 Crossfire's new TPS which I recently replaced, somewhat primitively, by marking and placing the new TPS with the old one. I can tell it needs a little adjustment and you provide the answer. I have "Subscribed" and "Liked" and want to express my sincere thanks! Hoping you have more in store for us. Dave V.

Mike thanks so much for the video everything worked perfect just as you explained check engine light went out immediately. Keep up the good work!

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Glad it helped!

[@garrebearr3184]

Hey Mike! Thanks for the video. Do you know what parts you ordered on eBay for the male and female pin connector ends? I’m trying to make a harness myself so I can dial this in. Thank you!

[@nepneppy9626]

Lmk if you figure out! Need the same info

[@Mikes84Corvette]

I found them on eBay 4 years ago. Weatherpak female terminals 20 - 18 gauge Chevrolet GM wiring wire terminals type 7 male 18 - 20 gauge Good luck!

[@nepneppy9626]

@@Mikes84Corvette thank you Mike! I’m trying to get this corvette back to life and this was the last thing it needed. Hopefully it works

[@Mikes84Corvette]

@@nepneppy9626 I hope you can find them - let me know!

[@nepneppy9626]

@@Mikes84Corvette I did and got it all ready. I found out my problem isn’t with the actual tps. The ecu is sending 5 volts and the ground is grounding but the positive wire is giving out nothing.

[@200hit]

Excellent Video... Where and what are those ends on the wires you made, So I can make jumps for mines?... Thanks

[@Mikes84Corvette]

I bought those. They are the male and female GM weather pack connectors.

[@200hit]

@@Mikes84Corvette Thank you I have and 82 Cross fire

[@200hit]

Awesome video... On the volt meter. what selection do you use ?. I see several selection Thank you

[@Mikes84Corvette]

It should be set to volts - and read .525 +/- .075 at closed throttle.

[@200hit]

@@Mikes84Corvette Thanks.. I think I got it. The idle seems to be ok now.. No up and down high revving

[@RandyWilliams-r9u]

Your video was very helpful

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Glad it helped!

[@JimmyMidnite]

Great work, Mike! I love everything about this…except that Mutts shirt :D

[@Mikes84Corvette]

LOL - Sorry - got lots of Mutts shirts to wear! Just subbed to your channel - good stuff!

[@coryplace6965]

Ty for your videos helped me out alot

[@joshuaholcomb7968]

Which wires are you connecting the multimeter to? I can’t tel if it’s A and B or C and B?

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Hi - sorry for delay - you connect wires A and B to the multimeter.

[@TJJorg]

Hey Mike, mine reads 506 no matter the position I have it in. Any suggestions?

[@nathanieldowsey3268]

Hmmmm interesting I did as you instructed... On my corvette it read .4.99 and can't go any higher then 5.25 hmmmm do have the connections wrong sirrr!!! Runs guuiiuud buuuuuuuuutt surgeszz at stop light or stop light!!. What am I doing wrong ssirrr!??? Or is my voltage on car too low or need to charge car battery for correct reading!!???

[@Mikes84Corvette]

I really don’t think the battery will affect the reading. I could be wrong though.

[@skye8252]

You never explained what you were moving to adjust the voltage and we couldn’t see from the angle. You mind letting me know?

[@jaydaug2008]

the throttle position sensor stays loose..It is almost like timing your car moving the distributor but you are moving the sensor till it reads the right voltage then you lock it down

[@HorseshoeBeach]

2:35 yep. Good video Mike.

[@danieljurgill1681]

We need a good CLOSE UP VIEW. You cannot tell where you connected to , what the original wire colors are. You did not check for 5 volts on one wire, you did not compare the ground wire with the battery ground to determine if the ground wire to the ecm and ecm ground to the battery were the same.

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Thanks for watching!

[@jorgelbeltran8858]

Can you call me please thank you
