Ok so I’m checking the unit with my multimeter. At idle it’s setting around 1.2V, little high but no biggie. Problem is when I slowly go WOT voltage is nonexistent after 2.0V at roughly 30% throttle on signal wire. It remains nonexistent until I close the throttle off to around the 30% mark.

So is this showing a bad TPS unit? I checked incoming voltage and it’s sitting right on 5.0V. Ground wire checked good as well. TIA

Works like a volume control, so you found the dead area, the patient is toast.

Thanks fellas! I felt like it was bad, was 90% certain, but it has been a very long time since I really tinkered with anything and I didn’t want to plop down the cabbage for something that may not be needed. Thanks again
