have there been any troubel with the tps?. my co is high on idle. and i wondering that my tps is wrong. have been running a test on it. adjust it to 16 on no throttle an 95 on full.
 
can you possibly give us a little more to work with?
you dont have a year or model of sled listed.
this is the apex forum so im assuming its an apex.
2006 had some bad tps"s
not sure about other years
 
2007-2008 apex. have tried to change the temp sensor. and adjust the co. can adjust the co/af at around 14.4. but when hit the throttle it goes way down. 11-12.5.
thats why im wondering if the tps i broke.
btw the sled have mcx 290 kit.
 
if its a 2007 it might be one of the bad ones. 2008 i think they changed. not positive though.
do you have a service manual?
you can test the tps with a multimeter. i found it to be more accurate.
mine would fail when it got hot so to prove it was failing i hooked up the multimeter and tested it cold.
then i used a hair dryer to heat the tps and retested it when it was hot. mine would only mess up something severe when hot. but they all behave different when they fail.
I replaced the tps with updated tps and no more issues.
ill see if i can find and post a link for testing it.
 
i found my manual but its a pdf and i cant figure out how to copy.
this is the best i can do.
it dont make a lot of sense the way its pasted here. sorry

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

NOTE:
Before adjusting the throttle position sensor,
the engine idling speed should be properly
adjusted.
1. Check:
• throttle position sensor
a. Disconnect the throttle position sensor coupler.
b. Remove the throttle position sensor from
the throttle body.
c. Connect the pocket tester (Ω Ã— 1k) to the
throttle position sensor.
d. Measure the maximum throttle position
sensor resistance.
Out of specification → Replace the throttle
position sensor.
e. Connect the pocket tester (Ω Ã— 1k) to the
throttle position sensor.
Positive tester probe →
black/blue terminal
Negative tester probe → blue terminal
Maximum throttle position sensor
resistance
3.5 ~ 6.5 kΩ at 20°C (68°F)
(blue – black/blue)
Positive tester probe → yellow terminal
Negative tester probe → blue terminal

f. While slowly opening the throttle, check
that the throttle position sensor resistance
is within the specified range.
The resistance does not change or it
changes abruptly → Replace the throttle
position sensor.
The slot is worn or broken → Replace the
throttle position sensor.
NOTE:
Check mainly that the resistance changes
gradually when turning the throttle, since the
readings (from closed to wide-open throttle)
may differ slightly from those specified.
2. Adjust:
• throttle position sensor angle
a. Connect the throttle position sensor coupler
to the wire harness.
b. Connect the digital circuit tester to the throttle
position sensor.
c. Measure the throttle position sensor voltage.
d. Adjust the throttle position sensor angle so
the measured voltage is within the specified
range.
e. After adjusting the throttle position sensor
angle, tighten the throttle position sensor
screws.
Throttle position sensor
resistance
0 ~ 5 ± 1.5 kΩ at 20°C (68°F)
(yellow – black/blue)
Tester positive probe → yellow terminal
Tester negative probe → blue terminal

Throttle position sensor voltage
0.63 ~ 0.73 V

THROTTLE BODIES
 
Sorry to drag this old post back up, but I think Im having a similar issue with my TPS. In diagnostic mode on the sled display it shows number closed of 88 and would only drop to 71 at the farthest adjustment. Fully open it reads 115. I thought it was supposed to be around 15 closed???? Or can that display mode be an unreliable manner of testing the TPS sensor?
