tps evaluating for ii issues

[max]

Sounds like the right approach Dave, reading back through all your posts i conclude that you haven't yet used contact cleaner on the connector, is that right?

Not suggesting you do that either at this stage, just checking.

Did a test on my tps connector which is;
switch engine on, not starting it and watching the "check engine light".
slowly unclipping the connector and carefully sliding it out of it's position until the light starts flashing ( when the contacts break ).
It takes 3 seconds for the ecm to respond ( in my case ) and flash the light, so i slide 1 mm at a time and wait 4 seconds in between movements to make sure the ecm has not detected a disconnect.
This way i can slide the connector out for 4 mm before the light comes on.

What this means is that the contacts are positioned correctly in the housing and make contact over a long enough distance to be reliable from that perspective, it does not mean they are clean and make good contact, it only means they are in the right place.

Interesting about your contact cleaning pdedse and the effect it had, i will purposely not draw any conclusions since it is early days and we've been here before.
