After a MASS AIR conversion and Supercharger install. My car runs like S$#T I kinda traced the problem to the TPS, it is reading 4.92 volts with the car not running and the throttle blade closed. A buddy of mine said the TPS was working in reverse could this happen? Is there a difference in TPS Sensors between the 86-88 and the 89-93 mustangs. The computer and wiring harness is from a 90 and the computer is a 9AL. Can anyone help.
