DOTS line up always for correct timing! Plus did you make sure the cam shaft double gear with the preloaded springs didn't jump alignment on the dots? There is a special locking tool to keep these gears aligned while installing.If someone tampered with the tps adjustment you will have to set it back to the base vdc setting with either throttle cable removed OR enough slack to where there is no pressure on the butterfly valve,then adjust vdc idle setting with a D ring screw driver. I've had em brought in with adjusters butchered up with needle nose pliers,tps way out adjustment,etc! Don't remember the settings off hand,but some members may have them for you and will post them.

Thanks for the advice. I will do the tps first. Can I do this with my volt meeter or ohm meter like we did with the rxl's or is only able to be done at the dealership? If thats not it, I will pill the stator cover off and check the double cam gear.

 

I had a harness kit with a 9 volt battery and regulator made especially to adjust the tps,but have read about others that have been able to adjust the settings,but not sure how they did it? OPT

 

I just ordered the TPS tester...2201519 it was only $52.00. Now if I could find a few people to go in on the digital wrench ($1200) would be perfect.

 

The tps tester you ordered will come with instructions and I believe it will have the settings you need. If it doesn't PM me monday and I'll send you the settings. Not at work right now so not positive on number.

If memory serves correct the TPS setting is .660 volts. There is another baseline setting which requires changin the "Idle screw" but I would recommend not doing that till a last resort. The book says not to mess with it, then a little further down in the same sdection it tells you how to adjust it(Hmmn!) The tps setting however is done with the tps and not the "Idle screw" so try it first.

 

Idle screw has to be backed off and not touching the butterfly lever and the cable has to have no tension on the throttle body to be able to set the baseline tps vdc. Then the final idle vdc is adjusted with the idle screw. Think you're close on the baseline vdc, then the final idle adjustment is around 710-715 vdc best I can remember? That's why they make manuals so you wont have to remember! OPT

 

I thought I would investigate a little before my tester came. I took off the cover on the throttle body, disconnected the cable and backed off the idle screw just as the manual said. I was surprised to have turned the screw a full three turns before it was no longer touching the lever. I then screwed it back in until it just contacted the lever and then I turned it 1/4 turn. It started right up and the previous idle problem is gone! It was nice to know that I don't have to pull the mag case off an regime the gears. I will fine tune it when I get the tester. It I idling at only 940 rpm though. If I turn the idle screw either direction the idle gets bad. I'm assuming that with the tester I will be able to set it exact.

 

Don't mess with it anymore until you get the tps harness! OPT

 

The book doesn't show the "base Setting" for this machine(setting for when the throttle plate is completely closed without touching the "Idle" stop screw.

Throttle Position Sensor Adjustment
IMPORTANT: The correct position of the thottle body
valve angle is established and set at the factory. If the
TPS was repositioned, replaced or loosened, it must
be recalibrated. Do not adjust the throttle body stop
screw. If the throttle body stop screw is adjusted, the
entire assembly must be replaced.
1. Very the throttle body is closed. Loosen the throttle cable
if required.
2. Verify TPS Tester PU-47082 and test leads are still
connected the TPS.
3. Loosen the mounting screw (B) holding the TPS to the
throttle body.
4. Rotate the TPS until the meter reads .735±.010 Vdc.
5. Tighten the TPS mounting screw and verify the voltage did
not change.
6. Open and close throttle a few times to ensure full throttle
closing. Do not snap closed, as this could cause
unnecessary throttle plate-to-throttle body interference
and/or damage. Verify the voltage did not change. If
changed, repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 or inspect throttle body
for possible wear or damage.
7. Reconnect the TPS harness lead.
8. Reinstall throttle body. Adjust cable freeplay if required.

The 07 700efi manual shows the base setting(adjusting the throttle stop screw setting) and it runs the same throttle body

Establishing zero offset voltage: This step is crucial as it sets
the TPS position using a fixed physical stop. This will insure
that the correct offset voltage is reached once the correct throttle
body flow is set.

Remove cover and disconnect throttle cable from
throttle cam.

With engine off, back out air flow screw until it no
longer is in contact with throttle plate cam. The throttle
plate should seal off throttle bore completely.

Open and close throttle plate a couple of times to ensure
full throttle closing. Do not snap closed, as this could
cause unnecessary throttle plate to throttle body
interference and/or damage.

• Set up the TPS Test Adapter Harness (PU-47082)
according to the instructions. Verify that the 9 volt
battery is new. Figure 2.

Using a voltmeter attached to the TPS Tester Harness
(PU-47082), check the voltage output of the TPS. It
should read .528 ± .01 volts.

• If it does not read .528 ± .01 volts, loosen the screw
holding the TPS to the throttle body. Rotate TPS until
voltmeter reads .528 ± .01 volts.

• Retighten TPS mounting screw, and verify the voltage
did not change. If changed, repeat the previous steps.

Establishing correct flow: Now that the zero offset voltage has
been set, you can now set the throttle body to the correct air flow
value.

• With voltmeter still attached to the TPS Test Adapter
Harness (PU-47082), turn the air flow adjustment
screw until the voltmeter reads .710 ± .01 volts. The
throttle body is now adjusted to the correct flow value
Figure 3.

• Reconnect the TPS harness lead

• Reinstall throttle cable on throttle cam and install cover.
Adjust cable freeplay.

 

The manual tries to scare you on the throttle body adjuster screw!! You don't have to replace the entire assembly even if it's been tampered with unless the tps spring is messed up! Just make sure the throttle cable isn't pulling on the butterfly OR just remove it.Turn the adjuster to where it is NOT touching the the idle lever,then you can set the tps vdc base setting and then the final idle vdc with the adjuster. If the tps has been removed or the spring is messed up inside of it ,then you may have to replace the tps. I've had em brought in all out of whack and have been able to readjust. Only one or two I gave up on and ordered new throttle bodies! OPT
