How to Test and Adjust Toyota 22RE TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) Pickup, 4Runner

[@RM_Garage]

Hey everyone. My videos have improved a TON since this one, and I'm currently rebuilding a Toyota W56 transmission. If you like this kind of stuff, check it out! W56 Rebuild Series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npe7gJiqgc2KZsU

[@natalied989]

So where does the adjustment part come in? The test was explained clearly but there was no adjustment. What if you are out of spec? How do you adjust?

[@emacdaqt350]

Wow brother thank you very much i also bought a taiwan cheap tps and i cant pass smog and it runs terrible. I just bought the EOM tps and after watching your video like 35 times i feel very confident to go ahead and remove my tps and adjust it. Also, thanks for the awesome tip of swapping out lame screws for Allen wrench screws

[@jeremysmith-mp7nu]

How is your truck running ? Did You fix the problem

[@grantsmith849]

Thanks for the video. The hex screw are almost as difficult as the Phillips if the air horn is in place. We screwed studs into the body and placed lock washers and nuts. Way easier.

Best I watch 20 videos all said blabla. Bla blablaba urs is clean and simple

Thanks!

dude thank you so much for this video, i love the internet. From Canada with love bro

No problem! Glad it helped you dude.

Wow. Best video I've found. Easy to follow, and detailed on each step. Thanks a bunch. My '85 Toyota lives to fight another day. :)

[@anthonyonate6268]

Thanks alot bud for your guidance much appreciated i don't know what I'd do with out these tools that you all provide to learn how to do things im things for your time and wisdom on these situations that come up from time 2 time

[@christopherbarber288]

Thank you for this! My pickup occasionally runs low and stumbles at idle plus hesitates at acceleration sometimes, and gave me a TPS code! I can’t seem to get mine to open loop, only 0.03, but I may just leave it if it works fine otherwise!

[@MrDaoby]

I'm in the same boat. Did your vehicle run without this being an open loop?

[@christopherbarber288]

@@MrDaoby yeah it ran fine just not well.

[@Crogue464]

Hey man this was an excellent video explaining how to test my tps. Im having issues with my 22re and I believe the tps to be the issue. But I'm still a little confused on how to adjust if the measurements aren't within spec. Do you have another video im missing? Or can you explain this?

[@RM_Garage]

Loosen the nuts and turn it

[@bongies42]

Amazing video man but I'm really new to working on my truck which nuts do loosen?

[@kylebrowning1205]

Do you have to take the tps sensor off to do these readings?? Thank you so much bro

[@likklejordeeTV]

What size feeler gauge did you use for the clearance? I’m having surging and idle issues rn HELP! 😭

[@Art-mn8nk]

I been looking for a video like this. Thank you for this. I have both haynes and toyota manual but needed a video like this!!🤘

[@RM_Garage]

No problem! Thanks for watching

[@emacdaqt350]

Same here bro i got 4 books but im a visual learner

[@RcbasherNcrasher13]

On those adjustment figures for the feeler gauges seem weird compared to the feeler gauges im able to purchase should any set of feeler gauges work for this.. the 0.0224 and 0.0335 look as if they should say 0.224 or 0.335 thanks

[@robertcordova2528]

Wondering same thing. Ever figure it out?

[@RcbasherNcrasher13]

@@robertcordova2528 right now I just got it set by ear lol.. lowered my idle seems to run pretty good.. but I recently got me a new project 98 cherokee sport 4x4..

Great video Sir, thank you!

Great video, thanks for the help I'm back on the road 👍

[@powrstroke]

Thank you for this video! Helped me soooo much!

[@michaelcox8702]

This was a well explained video except one thing, one of test, the senor needed adjusted and you didn't go through how to adjust the sensor and wouldn't it throw off the other readings on the other tests. Question?

[@RM_Garage]

Yeah, bad oversight on my part. You have to loosen the screws to adjust the TPS. I recommend swapping out the old screws with allen head bolts from LCE or 4Crawler. Each adjustment will affect the other adjustments. You will have to finesse it until all specifications are met for each test. Start in the middle of the adjustment.

[@RM_Garage]

Thank you for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@taylorgang5162]

I did everything rite far as adjusted but idle better but still not running rite. What should I do next any ideal what it could be

[@kawi1999jv]

Hi I ordered An oem TPS I’m having an issue every now and then my automatic transmission will shift into 1st but will reach high rpm before second gear and won’t engage until I come to a stop and start over I’m thinking it’s the tps. Misfire at idle at times and acceleration hesitation

[@dsc194]

Appreciate the video, nice work. Do you think a bad tps could cause unusual high idle at start up?

[@redyr6]

Helpful video, thank you

[@RM_Garage]

Thanks!

[@kawi1999jv]

Hi I have a 1986 Toyota pickup 22rte turbo automatic transmission I got the same info from Lce diagram readings and could not get the same readings like you engine is a 22re in a sense but stop screw is totally different- could you remember if your adjustment is at center point? I think I have no choice but to adjust by feel when I adjust down truck starts shaking and adjust up feels better also the tps I bought was bench tested from seller and is same part number as yours

[@davidmercado4660]

Hi, great video. What’s the specs for putting the stop screw back into place?

[@RM_Garage]

The throttle blade stop screw? If I recall correctly, the adjustment is to screw it in so it barely touches the linkage, and then tighten it 1/4 turn and snug the lock nut. Thanks for watching

[@max_bmx1205]

I now know how to test it but how do I adjust it so I get an open loop for test 3

[@emiliomorales9731]

would a faulty tsp cause the timing to be off? ive had the timing adjusted multiple times and i wa told it was the tsp

[@RM_Garage]

It can, happened on a friends 3VZE.

[@cdubskiii760]

Yes! That exact sensation happened to me

[@mr.harless9821]

So I see how to test it but how do you adjust if it doesn't pass the tests?

[@RM_Garage]

Ah, good point. Loosen the screws and turn the TPS clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust it.

[@omaroacosta1290]

StryfeS13 it wouldnt throw off the other previous tests?

[@RM_Garage]

@@omaroacosta1290 You'll be adjusting it several times throughout the process to pass all the tests.

[@carlospadilla9576]

So where do I want to set it infinit 0

[@RcbasherNcrasher13]

What size screws do I need to buy.. mine is currently missing bottom screw. Gotta love how they made it impossible to reach bottom screw without removing throttle body or thermostat housing.. please help if anyone can tell me about these screws..

[@RM_Garage]

Check 4crawler or 22reperformance

[@RcbasherNcrasher13]

@@RM_Garage do they list em as tps screws? I was just wondering if you know the size of the screws by chance?

[@brianp8144]

Thank's for the video

[@RM_Garage]

No problem!

[@autodidacticartisan]

I'm not getting anything between idl and e2 regardless of clearance. Just 1. Does this mean a bad tps? Truck isnt running and this is the existing tps.

[@joerichardcycles69]

I noticed the dashpot in the video is installed. The throttle stop setting changes if that dashpot is disconnected. . . This system was badly rigged by a previous shop so I'm trying to get it to run correctly. ,. I suspect the dashpot stop adjustment was all the way in, on this unit. I suspect they did that to raise the idle . .

[@natalied989]

How do you adjust the dashpot? My idle is super high (2 to 2.5k rpms) and I plugged the hole the end of the tiny little intake hose hanging off it but that didn't do anything. Would be nice to try to adjust that before I go the TPS route

[@854XTOY]

​@nataliedavis9085 The dash pot simply keeps the throttle from slamming shut when you let off the gas pedal quickly. From what I understand, and have done so myself, you can completely remove it if it's messed up and giving you trouble.

[@SANDMAN_66]

are you saying to take the sensor off and turn the thing in the middle?

[@RM_Garage]

Loosen the sensor and turn the sensor itself

[@SANDMAN_66]

@@RM_Garage thanks figured it out. Mine was going from infinite to 8 ohms within a hair of turn. Seemed like it should be more so bought a replacement

[@alexbenjamin6178]

Appreciate your video, thanks

[@RM_Garage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Middleagedgamer_]

So wait. What do you adjust? The throttle screw or the sensor itself(up and down)?

[@RM_Garage]

You turn the sensor itself.

[@timothyshearer6538]

Hey, did you apply vaccuum to the throttle pushoff valve above the tps before setting the idle stop screw?

[@854XTOY]

That's a dash pot, it keeps the throttle from slamming shut when you let off the gas pedal quickly. It's just a diaphragm and spring with an orfice vented to atmosphere.

[@Wizzet406]

Anyone run into a code 52 - knock sensor because of their code 41 TPS? Been battling a 52, 24, and 41. Hoping the TPS, new gas (sitting for 9 months) and an O2 sensor does the trick. Don't mean to make it a forum, just wondering if you get here because of a knock code.

[@cdubskiii760]

So when it’s out of spec are you loosen the tps and making minor adjustments like that ?

[@RM_Garage]

Correct.

[@petercasas3552]

I have a toyota pick up 94 that when I stop at stop it turns off. Does anyone know what the problem is ..

[@robertservice2845]

On a 22re Check the rubber intake elbow for cracks, especially on the bottom. Very common

[@speedyflash-v2841]

Also changing the fuel filter should help too

[@CSHYDRASHOCK]

this test pissed me off. I had stumbling from 2k down to 1.6k and suspected tps. Problem went away after unplugging tps. Tps passed all these tests but problem went away after replacing tps. What good is this test if it doesnt help you know for sure its good or bad?

So many haystacks. Great needle!

[@garyvandeputte4047]

You told us what they should be but didn’t show us how to change them if they were out of spec. Am I missing something?

[@RM_Garage]

Oversight on my part. Loosen the screws and then turn the TPS clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust.

[@alcidesIII]

Does anybody have the ranges for a suzuki sidekick 94? 👍

[@tumarido5543]

I have a question about the feeler gauges. I have a 1994 pick up What sizes did you use? I’m going based off the thousands numbers so I’m using the .024 and a 0.35 feeler gauges if anyone can tell me what sizes exactly I need that would help

There are online conversion charts.

No link to the website where the TPS readings came from. But Amazon affiliate links where not forgotten... Would be nice to help the viewers and not limit it to getting money from the Amazon affiliate links

all he did was test the connections. he didnt do any "adjustment"

So in other words be very patient ..and do this in cool temperatures cause doing this in the heat will fuck your patients up going back n forth for adjusting

Absolutely. Do it off the truck for your sanity.

Need another video how to adjust when you change the tps sensor thanks

[@NathanClevenger1337]

Got a brand new sensor and it will not go into spec with the 0.77mm & 0.85mm. Their either both OL or having a reading. Never just the 85 OL and the other reading literally anything. It's always OL on both or showing a reading. What brands other than rip off Denso are trustworthy?
