TPS problems... damn... wtf?

[GREG@SN95]

get your ground from the TPS not the block.

why does it matter?

I dont know, but the way to check the tps according to the manual doesnt say check it like that

It doesn't matter.... I don't feel like cutting up 2 wires when I ain't gotta...

holy crap Greg...why would you cut any wires???? you take two needles and push them into the harness plug then you touch the leads to the needles.

lol... hm, thats a good idea... idk... I just took some of the insulation off and hooked up an alligator clamp.... There's nothing wrong with the way I did it...

Ok....if it sometimes has voltage and sometimes not....its either the supplied voltage to the sensor causing the intermittency OR the sensor itself. Test the wire the supplies the voltage to the sensor. If it has 5volts at all times, I'd go ahead and replace the TPS. If not, then your problem lies deeper.
