1992-96 Adjustable Throttle Position Sensor Kit
Part# 41422


$47.99 KT.


Qty:
In Stock


Allows You To Tune Throttle Response & Performance

Easy To Install/Easy To Tune


The TPS (throttle position sensor) is a variable resistor connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle body. When the accelerator pedal moves, the TPS sends a signal to the computer. The computer calculates the fuel delivery and the air being consumed based on the throttle valve angle. Our adjustable TPS lets you fine-tune your Corvette's throttle response for maximum performance by changing the voltage of the sensor. The stock TPS is preset and cannot be adjusted. Out-of-adjustment TPS's can cause erratic idle, stumbling, surging and overall poor engine performance. The TPS kit includes the sensor, replacement connector/terminals, test jumper adjustment tool and instructions.

Hypertech support says NOT to use the Throttle Response switch with the chip. The claim is that the chip is already controlling the response and signals will not be correct between chip and throttle...

I was given the switch to try, I already have the Hypertech Chip. It took 5 minutes to install, 5 minutes to see that my car ran crappy, 5 minutes to remove.

Now, if you dont have a chip, perhaps it will work fine.
