I cant adjust my TPS (Pic on why)
Ive followed instuctions from my haynes manual & from some other internet info & cant understand why i have this situation.
You see my Throttle assemble is upsidedown compared to anything ive have seen in the manuals etc.
I Cant possibly get Feeler gauges to gap the throttle stop because its under the springs & stuff(see pic)

How do yours look, is the throttle stop on the top of this mechanisum
How can i accuratly adjust the TPS.

The TPS is adjustable. There is a black electrical peice on the other side of the throttle body that is the TPS. You loosen the screws and turn it slightly that's how you adjust the TPS.

I found it difficult to adust the TPS on the truck, so I ended up removing the TB and adjusting it on the bench. Made it much easier and afforded me the opportunity to clean everything, just make sure you have a spare TB gasket.

You think you're pissed now? Wait till you get the sumbitch taken all apart and you still can't get the ˟˟˟˟˟er adjusted right. Sorry, I know that's not helping, but it's what happened to me the other day.

Be sure to add grease to the stainless threads because they may bind otherwise.
