    Problem with TPS% reading 30 at idle

    Hello all,

    im having an issue with my TPS% reading 30% at idle.
    It also reads 204% at pedal to the medal.

    heres my info:
    -AMC 304 V8
    -using 5.7L throttle body with 65lb/hr injectors
    -1227747
    -$42
    -IAC is 18 steps
    -TPS voltage is .57V
    -idle 800 RPM
    -open loop idle AFR 13.9
    -elevation 5000'
    -using 42.xdf from tunerpro's website.

    I pulled the power to the system overnight, but nothing changed. Is there something I'm missing?

    IIRC, to read TPS% correctly with a 7747, there is a datastream value that needs changed.

    TPS voltage seems fine, so nothing odd there. the TPS% value shouldn't be capable of displaying above 100% though.

    TPS percentage is not a native part of the '7747 datastream, and ADX values are usually a fudged range that doesn't always work out to be accurate.

    The only TPS value that is in the '7747 datastream is TPS voltage.

    IIRC Mark had mentioned that there was a change that could be done in the bin to send out a proper TPS percentage value but it still wasn't 100%correct, just closer than trying to manipulate the TPS voltage value.

    great info! I figured it was simply a calc based on TPS volts, but it didn't make sense how it could be so wrong.

    so knowing this, how should I tune stuff dependent on TPS%? for example, I'm tuning my PE circuit now, Is it okay to tune PE by offsetting MIN TPS% for PE by 30%? So I'd set PE to 100% instead of 70% for a true 70%.

    Ignore TPS % in the ADX, it's not valid.

    I can't give you any solid answer on how to tune parameters that use TPS %, other than feel and trial and error. You can guestimate what the TPS percentage would be, based on volts, and the pedal under your foot.
