tps

does any one know what color wire the tps is coming out of the computer? or what spot it should be in in the plug. also would the spot differ from a stock 5.0 bird to an a9l? its an 88 btw

that would definatly help! but its too small to read.

i did a maf conversion and now i went to set my tps and the signal voltage is like 5, all the time while key is on. i must have messed up some where. and i am pretty lost right now. so any help at all would be aprietiated.

It come in at 5v, sounds like you got the wrong wire.

ok. well i went out and checked it and all the wires are where they're sopposed to be. now im really stumped. would the tps signal be the same 47 position it is on a stock bird as it is on an a3m1/a9l? it didn't say i had to move those wires to do the MAF swap.

this is confusing. well, at the tps, orange is + and black is -. but i guess green would be a ground right? the voltage i see should be after the tps and that should act like a resistor. but i dont think it can be a bad tps cause i've used two and gotten the same results. i cant belive i tested two tps's that both worked fine on cars just minutes before and now they are both maxed out. has anyone ever seen this ever?

isnt green where your supposed to check the voltage?  this is where I have always set the tps on my TC but I'm not sure if its the same on a V8.
