A GM 3800 V-6 question

joe4speed · 06-10-2002, 08:24 PM

My daily driver is a '93 Olds 88 LSS with the 3800 engine in it. I was wondering if there are any GM people here that know what the TPS voltage is supposed to be set for idle?
Thanks!

Hey Joe! It should be between .33 and .46 vdc at idle.

Take care,
-Chris

Woohoo! Thanks Chris! I knew you'd know it! No one seems to know that, and I even did a search onm the web for it to no avail!!

Thanks man! The car runs like new now, I've been dealing with a bad tps for a year now in that car, and just been too lazy to change it (pain in the *** to get to it), but now I'm glad, the thing actually smokes the tires now instead of showing me the service engine soon light when I floor it!
