Rang my old school Carby man today to see if he had a lead on GM parts, worth a try, he didn't,
He's old school, Holley's Rochester's Webers SUs .
BUT he did suggest I look at the spark plugs.
Back to Basics!
Remembered I sprayed lots of throttle body cleaner down on top of the valves and gave the intake ports a good clean with a toothbrush...
All that crap would've entered the cylinders on the first intake stroke and wound up ejected out the exhaust...But some residue would've wound up on the spark plugs!.....yeah!
Pulled em today sprayed em with carb cleaner and gave em a good going over with a clean rag soaked in it
Ohms tested them then stuck em back in...Running a LOT BETTER now...
Gonna go for another ride tonight for full confirmation..
I reckon a good Dyno tune is in order though as it's getting too much fuel on decel and sounds like a gun club when I back off.

OK joined that VMC cost me $30 Aust, did a search on TPS as well as using full words for such and came up with zero.
I put up a post as well, site dont look to be used much though, did I do my dough? anyone got a link to that TPS page.

Bugga!

Bugga!

Yeah mate probably blew $30 on a little used site,

Maybe this will help.

Tps replacement

Hey guys, my bike has been running kinda rough lately, stalling at stops and with the clutch pulled in. I replaced the throttle body boot/adapter, whatever you wanna call it. It helped a lot, it just still stumbles a bit around 1700-2000 rpm. I'm probably going to replace the pts and was...

Still running like crap occasionally and sounding like artillery on decel, it'll idle fine for a while then suddenly start dying and jumping up revs , dropping and jumping and stall if I don't goose the throttle....then it'll be fine again🤔

OK followed @BBob link and got some part no's
NAPA 2-19187
ECHLIN CRB 219187
Put them in an ebay search and it came up as CHEV LS1/2/3/6/7 part....sound right?
If so plenty of GMHoldens here ran LS engines

Is that for a TPS? It would be very cool if it was a readily available part through other sources.

Another thing I was thinking was your injectors. I know it's a huge pain to remove and clean them but sometimes they do get clogged up. Just a thought. Have you run any injector cleaner through a tank of gas lately? Sometimes we get lucky if that's the issue.

 

[Obi Steve]

Can you copy the tune file from the Power Commander and store the copy? Just in case you do get a dyno tune, but afterwards go back and cross connect the intake runners.

 

[Motorbikerx]

Yeah Bob I've run a good fuel system cleaner though it.
Plenty of LS engines DownUnder, they're a very popular transplant into other vehicles too.
Rode it some distance late last night at a speed that would burn fuel off quicker, to lighten the load when I remove the fuel tank for easier access.
Gonna see if I can get an assistant to help test the existing one with an Ohm-meter laster today, so I can delve deeper into the problem, and maybe her too.

Already replied to this but looks like it never came through.
Yes I've run injector/fuel system cleaner though it.
My guess is the TPS is faulty and the boot was also cracked, I've replaced the boot but the TPS is still faulty.
Hopefully the GM LS1 unit will fix it.

Yeah Steve that is a good idea, I have the Power Commander site still installed on my old laptop,
It was for my PCV thing it'll work for a PCIII ?

Buggered if I know, I'm an ignition points and carburettor sort of bloke. Someone on here will know though.

No.

 

[Obi Steve]

That's not the answer he wanted to hear. But not unexpected, a couple of generations in an updated device would involve software updates that can't be made retrospective.

Posted elsewhere about Tryna locate MAP sensor on '06 Kingpin with Torque Tubes....

$hit, I spend way more than that on a very used slut but she’s had my 3 kids plus I’ve been married to her for almost 23 years so I’d loose 1/2 my stuff if I’d give up & quit meow

 

[Motorbikerx]

Okaaaay!...TPS arrived today!
to fit LS1 Chev V8 in Holden Commodore...and it's exactly the same as the one I just removed.
Fiddly bloody job with the throttle body still in place, but doable!
Had to cut down an Allen wrench and tape it into the jaws of pointy nose pliers,
TPS is now in place and tightened up, I put a very light smear of
di-electric grease on the o-ring on the TPS just for good measure .
Now to refit the fuel tank, air filters and do a TPS reset.
It's raining outside now so the test ride may have to wait.

Great news all around! Taping a ‘modified’ Allen wrench to needle nose pliers is what I call some good ‘red neck engineering’. Hopefully the TPS reset will complete the job and return your yellow beast to its smooth running natural state.

NO...Sadly it's running like absolute crap.
Midnight here and drizzling rain but had to take it for a test ride.
Gutless as all f#&k, stuttering badly, banging out the exhaust, shaking rattling popping and farting, bordering on unrideable, took it for a couple of miles down the road but it didn't clear.
Could be the $15 Chinese TPS.
Tried running it through the TPS reset procedure a few times to no avail...
What started out as a faltering idle led to a replacement of the rotten throttle body boot.
Now you'd think it'd run a lot better after that but things are getting worse.....

 

[Chattanooga_Mark]

Could the internal potentiometer of the TPS be different even though the exterior is the same?

Yellow…
