I know there's been a lot of discussion around this topic but at the same time a lot of folks have done this the wrong way... My question is in order to do this "perfectly", do I need to remove the air box cover and literally watch the butterfly valve while I am backing out the throttle adjustment screw? One of the earlier posts on the subject said "..force the throttle closed until the butterfly is wedged in the bore prior to executing the TPS reset.." Just want to make sure I am doing this right when my cable arrives. Thanks. | ||

Hi, me and my brother have done numerous TPS re-sets on my X-1 and our S3's. No need to take off the air box cover, you can feel the butterfly stuck closed when doing the reset. As I am sure you know, if you have any old error codes you can clear those out at same time. And, you can adjust the idle spot on. Hope that helps! Christian | ||

Make sure the engine is fully warmed up before you do the reset. A cold reset will result in a poor warm running engine. BC Steve | ||

Gentlemen, thanks for the input. | ||

A cold reset will result in a poor warm running engine. Err no, the engine temperature has nothing to do with the throttle position sensor, and setting the zero position. the idle speed varies for a given throttle plate position with respect to temperature. Rising slightly with temp increase. set about 6 degrees from full close (zero) fine tune the adjustment when warm for the 1050 rpm idle, }the engine takes about 10 minutes to fully reach OT and stable oil temp ( the true measure of the system temps )when ridden "in town" from the porch.. |
