Having an issue with voltage (bump stop mod)
I am attempting to do the bump stop mod to my throttle body but I am running into an issue.
I have piggybacked my DMM (volt meter) into the TPS sensor and at closed throttle (idle) I get around 9 volts. At WOT, I am getting around 4.7 volts.
Now from all of the different threads on how to do this, only one of them tells you how to do it using a voltmeter. The rest instruct you to use tuning equipment which I do not have and use measurments in degrees of throttle.
Here is the thread on using volts

Using a voltmeter, I am supposed to see around .85 volts at idle and no more than 4.7 at WOT.
I have plugged the (voltmeter) positive wire into the blue wire on the TPS and the ground obviously goes to a good ground. I have tried different settings on the voltmeter but to no avail. I have even moved to the two other wires on the TPS. One is hot and the other must be a ground.

You should have 3 wires - reference voltage, signal, and ground. Reference voltage should be approximately 12 volts, and the signal wire should be your TPS voltage that the ECU is seeing.
So if you've got your DMM in the 12VDC position and you've got the black on a good ground (negative battery terminal works well) and the red probing the signal wire, you should get your signal voltage. The readings you are getting are very strange for sure.

okay, i think i understand what your trying. here goes.
wesman, reference voltage is 5 volts not 12.
other than that your explanation is spot on, good luck brandon

Still no luck. Same readings using a different ground.

Maybe its cause its a 98? Wasn't something different with the 98/99 throttle bodies?
