Buick Electra Park Ave TPS SettingCommodore Woods 01-04-2006, 09:32 PM Ok, I may be new to the forum but not new to forums in general. My story starts with my blasted little cam position magnet going out on my 89 Electra Park Ave. with the 3.8L V6. Got that fixed. Engine was still running really rough. Changed the plug wires bye bye roughness. the problem now... is the TPS This has been changed (Stupid stupid stupid) because it was one of the trouble codes the engine had thrown. Now, we've got the new one but don't know at what voltage to set it at an "idle". Please. I'm begging you. HELP!!!!!!! Sorry thing has been driving me nuts. maxwedge 01-05-2006, 09:17 AM .45-.55v wrightz28 01-05-2006, 10:36 AM .48V is the sweet spot for most. Commodore Woods 01-05-2006, 08:00 PM I've got it set at .5 and the computer is saying that the signal voltage is to low. maxwedge 01-06-2006, 09:38 AM Make sure the throtltle body and plate are clean and no one has changed the base idle setting also. wrightz28 01-06-2006, 10:46 AM Have you reset the ECM as well? Commodore Woods 01-06-2006, 07:57 PM Figured out what the problem was... When I changed the plug wires I unplugged the TPS and MAF sensors to get a little more play in the loom they were in... so... I guess you can kinda figure out what happend next. Works great when it's plugged in! jiveabillion 05-02-2006, 01:44 AM My car is the same model.('89 Electra) and it threw the same trouble codes. One for the Cam Position Sensor and the TPS. It happend when i was at WOT for a few seconds. I am wondering, if I replace the TPS, will that fix both problems. The cam position sensor tested to work just fine. It seems more logical that the TPS would be damaged at WOT than the Cam magnet. It is also much much easier to change the 30 dollar TPS than the 8 dollar magnet. Any thoughts on this? jiveabillion 05-02-2006, 05:15 PM I changed the TPS today. I set the voltage at .49 with the key in ON position and the engine off. I am still getting trouble code 22 TPS voltage too low. I am also still getting the code 41 about the cam. To make sure the cam sensor wasn't setting the code 22, I reset the ECM and turned the key to ON without starting the engine and then got the trouble code. That time I only got trouble code 22. So it seems that I am having trouble with both of them. I really don't know what to do about the TPS. Can anyone help me? vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
