Yep! | ||

No need to, but it can't hurt. | ||

As froggy said, it can't hurt. But there is absolutely no need to do one. TPS=Throttle Position Sensor. The throttle position is not in any way related to the muffler. | ||

Boy...some people want to wear out the ECMSpy and harness. It aint required NEARLY so often as mentioned. I've got over 15K on my beatup ol XB12R. After having to "replace" the actual sensor one time early on...most of that 15K is on ONE....TPS reset. And yea...I have checked it a few times..so I do know...it ain't changing...! Mike | ||

So the answer is , wait for it, wait for it, Yes and No! I would trust froggy over me. I did that thing called asuming. I would do a TPS reset any time I do any major engine componet change that affects fuel or O2. Again thats just me, but what do I know? Not much but im learning. | ||

Truly funny..wives tales and myths It's (the TPS) got NOTHING directly to do with the fuel, the timing, the muffler, the airbox, or the stickers on the airbox cover. It's only function...is to tell the ECM where the butterfly position or angle is in the throttle body...period. So ANY...change to the engine not related to the throttle body, the TPS sensor itself is just pure playing around with yourself. Mike Just a note...I guess there have been a couple that (maybe !?) were loose from the factory...THEY would need to be properly reset after tightening. | ||

You do not need to perform a TPS reset unless you have changed the ECM or have replaced the throttle position sensor and or the throttle body. All the TPS calibration does is set a zero degree reading when the throttle plate is completely closed and is not offset by the idle adjustment. Once the zero degree adjustment has been has been accomplished, adjust the idle screw to attain a reading of 5.2 to 5.6 degrees. Changing the exhaust or air intake has no effect on the TPS setting. | ||

Ok, please tell me if this is nessesary, im going to flash a new map later today and was told to do a TPS reset right after. So is this something that warrents a TPS reset? | ||

If you are using the same ECM, then no. If you change ECM boxes, yes. |
