Default '91 TPS voltage

1991 L98 coupe

my TPS voltage is .77V at idle and goes to 9.5V at WOT, i've heard it should be around .54V at idle to 5V at WOT but some say the 90-91 is different than others with how the computer uses the TPS, should i replace my TPS?

Yours is non-adjustable. Are you getting a code or is it idling high?

Your normal voltage ranges should be in the FSM. If you have a FSM use it to check the wiring out and the normal voltages. I don't have that refrence information or I would post it. I wouldn't spend money on a new TPS until you confirm that one bad. Perhaps someone with a 91 FSM can chime in.

your ecm takes any voltage between o.3 and o.9 vdc and resets itself to use this as ''correct'' throttle idle 0% ...voltages at idle outside those will turn on the ''ses'' lite
the ecm outputs a nominal 5.0 vdc signal to the tps...if you are seeing 9+ vdc in that circuit, something is wrong, prepare to see smoke.

thanks,
sounds like there's a problem in the wiring from the ecm, i'll investigate further.
