Vehicle: 95 Yukon with TBI Vortec 350. Has Be Cool 2 row radiator, trans cooler, and electric fan. Tuned with the help of Dave at Gearhead EFI. Runs awesome and normal temp (195F)
Problem: In the heat, I keep having to replace the TPS. Standard, Delco, doesn't matter. They all work fine for a while then die in the heat. It seems every summer I have to swap it out at least once. I suspect it's because I have an electric fan and there is not always air moving under the hood. There are shorty headers on the motor too which also add heat under the hood.
Question: Is anyone else running a similar setup and have you run into this issue of the TPS not liking the underhood heat? TIA
