Trottlepot adjustment?

[aerospoke]

Hi there

Today i tried to adjust the TP on my chim according to the directions in the bible because it measured 580 ohms when throttle closed. when i loosened the 2 screws i found no way of adjustment.
Could someone please enlighten me?
Btw its a 96 chim 4l

Thanks Jens

If your TP is like mine (2000 4.5) the TP does not have any slots as specified in the bible - mine just had 2 holes which the screws went thru - I elongated the holes to get some adjustment

I am sure someone with more knowledge will be along shortly

That is exactly what you have to do.

Is it ok to just set it for 0 ohms at closed throttle or do i have to measure the voltage at the ecu?

Thanks Jens

Lifted this from the RPI website. Hope this helps.

Find the Throttle pot on side of plenum. There are three (3) wires coming from this unit to a multi plug. Do not disconnect. Wire colors are Red, Green, Yellow. Red from volt meter to red wire of pot. Black wire from volt meter to Green of pot. Volts should read .33 to .35 volts if not, loosen the two (2) screws that hold it in position and turn it to get the correct voltage. If you cannot get the correct voltage setting, undo and remove the throttle pot, make the fixing holes elongated and you will be able to get the right voltage.
