Colin-mkiv Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 My car is running terribly, I know what the issue is and I'm competent on the end of a set of spanners, but this stuff just confuses me. Is there anyone close by that might be able to sort it for me? I'm in Durham/Newcastle by the way. http://www.forum.mkiiisupra.net/showthread.php?t=31700&page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 What exactly is the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Erratic idling and stalling when I 1st press the throttle, lots of black smoke out the back so over fuelling to death. I have been outside for an hour with feeler gauges and multimeter....I'm ready to explode now though, just cant get anything like what I should be getting reading wise. What exactly is the problem?

TheTurtleshead Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Check the vacuum hose to your map sensor and the wiring, could have a split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I might have cracked it, I've set it up as per another set of instructions I have found.....I shall report back after I have given her a sound thrashing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 It is now back to how it was before I messed with it, albeit not as it should be I can live with it til I source a replacement TB etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 So you think the tps is the source of the problem? Don't think it is man. Anyway you can calibrate the tps by flooring the accelerator pedal with the ignition off, hold it down, turn the ignition on and hold the pedal down for a minute.

Hellstrom Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Is it à reset for the tps/tcs? I did it and its pretty straight forward onde you got the hand of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'll try that one! Yes, I did it eventually with the multimeter. Still a bit iffy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin-mkiv Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I have already reset the TPS using the feeler guage and Digital multimeter. I am going to do the sequence suggested by Swampy tommprow morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstrom Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 sorry was typing on my phone. Well i did the reset type with a feeler gauge and messure the pins. for me i was always within tollerance told from the TSRM if you aren't iam guessing that either you did not set it up correctly or you have a broken TPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
