Throttle Position Sensor Options

[cyberblader1130]

Can someone check their voltage coming from the tps to ecu? I'm reading around .5V idle and ~3.6V WOT on my GT and im not sure what the norm is. Seems a little low for WOT but i could be wrong since i can't seem to find any info on it. So if anyone can check theirs that would be great.
If you don't know how and want to, it's easy. Put the key in and turn it to ON but leave the engine off. Then attach a voltmeter Neg cable to the batter and the Pos cable to the upper middle cable coming from the tps on the throttle body. Should be around .45V-.55V i believe. Then open up the throttle or have someone step on the gas and take another reading and let me know what that is please.

How exactly did you connect the positive end of the meter to the back of the wire?
I tried to probe the back of the connector to check the voltage of the TPS on my 3rd gen but the positive end wont fit behind the connector to make the connection to the sensor.

Does anyone have experience with a 3rd gen TPS potentially going bad? I'm throwing engine code for the TPS, the connector on the engine harness reads 5V like it should but I'm having a hard time checking the actual sensor. I was thinking of cutting the insulation back on the wire but I'm trying to avoid ruining the wires as there isn't much slack to play with on that part of the harness.

Some symptoms is some hesitation in low rpms while accelerating, doesn't happen often, but happens enough to irritate me. Its now throwing a code so it needs to be addressed.


Any suggestions?
