Howdy all,
Just wondering whether you have to adjust the TPS sensor after a new one has been installed? The reason I ask is I replaced it yesterday on my LS1 and upon starting the car, it coughed and spluttered, when I accelerated it wouldn't rev and eventually stalled. I tried 3 or 4 times before I **** myself and put the old one back in. Expecting everything to be back to normal, I started the car and it did the same thing again. I bit the bullet and called RACV and put the put the engine cover back on and thought I'd give her one more stab... Then bang, started just fine, took it for a spin and it was back to normal so cancelled the call out. I still assume the TPS is on it's way out though due to the fact it doesn't idle smooth and there's a slight acceleration hesitation that is evident. If anyone has had this happen or knows what to do, it'd be awesome! Haynes manual doesn't tell me anything in this instance unfortunately!
Cheers,
Boojakz.
