anybody have a scangauge? check tps

krnnerdboy · 12-30-2008, 07:02 PM

Hey guys,
I installed my scangauge and I was driving around. I noticed on WOT my TPS only goes up to 73...what was disturbing was that out of the vehicle and manually opening my throttle body netted me 81. that means my car is never full throttle. Can anyone else confirm this for me to see if my car is working optimally or it's engineered to not open all the way

thanks

interestingly enough, after doing the throttle map reset(found in DIY) my WOT reading went upto 75 from 73...actually made a difference in feeling. like changing a dirty air filter feeling

Interesting, did you try sport mode?

NICE FIND!

I'm sure my last presentation in grad school sounded a lot like that, but with real terminology.

Had an undergrad math teacher who sounded like that...also had a heavy Czech accent. Brings back nightmares.

Yes, I had some horrific math professors as an undergrad, luckily I had much better as a grad student. I kinda felt bad at the end of my presentation when I realized, that I had completely lost most of my class.
