Throttle Position Sensor (Tps) [ Removal & Installation ] Printer Friendly View Page 1 of 14 1988 Pontiac Grand Am 2.3L Eng SE 1Search™ TPS THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR Removal Disconnect electrical connection from TPS. Remove TPS retaining screws. Remove TPS sensor. Installation 1. With throttle valve in closed position, install TPS on throttle body. Ensure TPS lever engages with drive lever on throttle shaft. Install retaining screws and electrical connection. 2. On 2.0L and 2.8L (VIN 9) models, tighten screws. No adjustment is required. On all other models, adjust TPS to specification and tighten retaining screws. See THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR under ADJUSTMENTS in this article. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) [ REMOVAL & INSTALLATION ] Removal Remove air cleaner and disconnect TPS electrical lead. Remove attaching screws, lock washers, retainers and TPS sensor. If necessary, remove screw holding TPS actuator lever to end of throttle shaft. NOTE: On 4.3L engines, TPS is nonadjustable. After servicing, perform nonadjustable TPS output check. See appropriate article in TUNE-UP section. Installation 1. With throttle valve in idle (closed) position, install TPS on throttle body. Ensure that TPS pick-up lever is located above TPS actuator lever. Install retainers, screws using thread locking compound (Loctite 262), and lock washers. 2. Connect electrical lead and install air cleaner. With ignition on, connect digital voltmeter to TPS "A" and "B" terminals, rotate TPS to obtain .45-.60 volt. Tighten attaching screws and recheck voltage. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) CHECK/ADJUST The Throttle Position Sensor is not adjustable. This ECM auto-zeros the TPS voltage at idle. This means the ECM reads the TPS voltage at idle as indicating 0% throttle opening (as long as the voltage is within the specified range). If the sensor is not within the specified range, circuit troubleshooting is necessary. TPS BASE VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS (1) http://www1.shopkeypro.com/Print/Index?content=tabs&module=true&tab=true&terms=tr... 7/10/2016 Printer Friendly View Page 2 of 14 Application Voltage Throttle Position Normal Range .45 - 1.25 Curb Idle (1) ECM auto-zeros the TPS voltage at idle. This means the ECM reads the TPS voltage at idle as indicating 0% throttle opening (as long as the voltage is within the specified range). Reassembly - Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Place throttle valve in normal closed idle position. Install TPS on throttle body with pick-up lever above throttle actuator lever. Install retainer, lock washers and 2 new attaching screws (coated with locking compound). NOTE: Use care in removing injector to prevent damage to electrical connectors, fuel filter and nozzle. Injector is serviced only as unit. CODE 21 - TPS SIGNAL VOLTAGE HIGH The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) provides a voltage signal that changes with the position of the throttle valve. Signal voltage will vary from about .5 volt at idle to about 5 volts at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart. 1. The following conditions must be met to set a Code 15: 1. Engine running at operating temperature. 2. No Codes 33 or 34. 3. MAP less than 65 kPa 4. TPS signal voltage greater than about 4 volts (78 percent). 5. Above conditions must exist for more than 5 seconds, or TPS voltage greater than 4.9 volts. 2. With TPS unplugged, voltage should reduce to a lower value, if ECM and wiring are okay. 3. Probing circuit No. 452 using a test light, checks TPS ground circuit. An open or very high resistance ground sets a Code 21. Diagnostic Aids When using a scan tool, throttle position should be displayed in voltage. Check TPS voltage with ignition on and engine off. At closed throttle display should read .49-59 volts. Voltage should increase at a steady rate as throttle is opened toward WOT position. Some scan tools will display in percentages such as: http://www1.shopkeypro.com/Print/Index?content=tabs&module=true&tab=true&terms=tr... 7/10/2016 Printer Friendly View Page 3 of 14 • 0 percent = closed throttle • 100 percent = Wide Open Throttle (WOT) An open circuit No. 452 will set a Code 21. Codes 15, 21 and 66 stored simultaneously could be result of an open circuit No.452. Check TPS connector for corrosion or improper connection. Check condition of connector seal, replace if necessary.

Signal voltage will vary from one volt at idle to about 4.5 volts at wide open throttle. Code 21 Will Set If: • Engine is running and TPS voltage is greater than 2.5 volts for 5 seconds with engine speed less than 1300 RPM (auto. trans.) or 1400 RPM (man. trans.). • MAP sensor detects high manifold vacuum (no load). A Code 21 may also set if circuit No. 155 is open or circuit No. 417 is shorted to voltage. NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart. 1. This step determines if Code 21 is a hard fault or an intermittent condition. http://www1.shopkeypro.com/Print/Index?content=tabs&module=true&tab=true&terms=tr... 7/10/2016 Printer Friendly View Page 6 of 14 2. This step simulates Code 22. If the ECM recognizes the low TPS voltage signal and sets Code 22, the ECM and circuits No. 416 and 417 are not at fault. 3. This step isolates a faulty sensor, ECM, or an open circuit No. 155. Diagnostic Aids A "Scan" tester displays throttle position in volts. Closed throttle voltage should be less than one volt. Voltage should increase gradually to about 4.5 volts, at a steady rate, as throttle angle is increased.

Signal voltage will vary from about .5 volt at idle to 5 volts at WOT. NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart. 1. In order for Code 22 to set, engine must be running and TPS signal voltage should be less than about .2 volt for 3 seconds. 2. This test simulates high voltage (Code 21).

TPS has an auto zeroing feature. If voltage is within range of .235-.75 volt, ECM will use that value as closed throttle. If voltage reading is out of zeroing range on existing or replacement TPS, TPS should be adjusted to .54-.56 volt. 4. A high voltage signal is simulated to check for an open in circuit No. 417. 5. Circuit No. 416 and No. 452 share a common sensor ground buffered reference signal. Code 22 will set if either circuits are shorted to ground. To determine if MAP sensor is setting Code 22, unplug connector and check for reset. Ensure that TPS is connected and clear codes before testing. Diagnostic Aids When using a scan tool, throttle position should be displayed in voltage. Check TPS voltage with ignition on and engine off. At closed throttle display should read .49-59 volts. Voltage should increase at a steady rate as throttle is opened toward WOT position. Some scan tools will display in percentages such as: • 0 percent = closed throttle • 100 percent = Wide Open Throttle (WOT) Codes 22 and 66 stored simultaneously could be result of an open circuit No. 416.

    Maatwerkadvies Verkeersemissies Title Road Vehicle Noise versus fuel consumption and pollutants emissions Authors P.J.G. van Beek ([email protected]) M.G. Dittrich ([email protected]) Search terms Engine noise, exhaust emission, CO2 emission Introduction In the context of proposed changes to EU regulations for both vehicle noise and exhaust emissions, clear information on current technology trends is required to be able to identify correlation between these parameters. In this memo a comparison is made between noise emission, fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions of road vehicles. The main focus here is on passenger cars and small delivery vans, but the basic principles also apply to trucks, lorries, buses and motorcycles. In real traffic, vehicle operating conditions vary widely from low to high vehicle speed and/or acceleration accompanied by full (WOT = Wide Open Throttle), partial or idle engine load. All these operating conditions have their own characteristic noise emission, fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions including CO 2. Noise The main exterior noise sources of road vehicles are powertrain noise, tyre-road noise and aerodynamic noise. Powertrain noise is produced by the engine (and turbocharger, if present), intake and exhaust, cooling system and the transmission (gearbox and drive axles). For the relation between noise and fuel efficiency, the engine, the intake and the exhaust are the most important components for which a possible conflict between these two parameters may occur. In contrast, the transmission can be optimized to minimize noise emission, without affecting the fuel consumption. However, all these components are interconnected and therefore interact to a certain degree.

  • Closed Loop Engine Management System
    Information Sheet #105 CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL SYSTEMS ON GASEOUS GENERATORS Frequently the engine used to drive the generator in a standby or prime power generator system is a 4-stroke spark ignition (SI) engine. While many smaller portable generators use SI engines fueled by gasoline, the majority of SI engine driven generators above 10kW are fitted with SI engines fueled by gaseous fuel, either natural gas (NG), or liquid petroleum gas (LPG). The majority of gaseous powered SI engines within a generator system are frequently referred to as having a Closed-Loop Engine Control System. In understanding Buckeye Power Sales necessary maintenance required to maintain optimum operation and performance of an SI engine using a closed-loop system, it is Reliable Power Professionals Since 1947 important to be aware of all the components within the system, their functions, and the advantages a closed-loop system. 1.0 WHAT IS A CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM: The term “loop” in a control system refers to the path taken through various components to obtain a desired output. Used in conjunction with the word “closed” it refers to sensors measuring actual output along the path against required output. The various outputs measured along the path, or loop, are referred to as feedback signals. In a closed- loop system, the feedback along the path constantly enables the engine control system to adjust and ensure the right output is maintained as variations in ambient temperature, load, altitude, and humidity influence combustion and required output. So, in brief, closed-loop systems employ sensors in the loop to constantly provide feedback so the ECU can adjust inputs to obtain the required output.

  • Internal Combustion Engine
    AccessScience from McGraw-Hill Education Page 1 of 15 www.accessscience.com Internal combustion engine Contributed by: Neil MacCoull, Donald L. Anglin Publication year: 2014 A prime mover that burns fuel inside the engine, in contrast to an external combustion engine, such as a steam engine, which burns fuel in a separate furnace. See also: ENGINE . Most internal combustion engines are spark-ignition gasoline-fueled piston engines. These are used in automobiles, light- and medium-duty trucks, motorcycles, motorboats, lawn and garden equipment, and light industrial and portable power applications. Diesel engines are used in automobiles, trucks, buses, tractors, earthmoving equipment, as well as marine, power-generating, and heavier industrial and stationary applications. This article describes these types of engines. For other types of internal combustion engines see GAS TURBINE ; ROCKET PROPULSION ; TURBINE PROPULSION . The aircraft piston engine is fundamentally the same as that used in automobiles but is engineered for light weight and is usually air-cooled. See also: RECIPROCATING AIRCRAFT ENGINE . Engine types Characteristics common to all commercially successful internal combustion engines include (1) the compression of air, (2) the raising of air temperature by the combustion of fuel in this air at its elevated pressure, (3) the extraction of work from the heated air by expansion to the initial pressure, and (4) exhaust. Four-stroke cyc le. William Barnett first drew attention to the theoretical advantages of combustion under compression in 1838. In 1862 Beau de Rochas published a treatise that emphasized the value of combustion under pressure and a high ratio of expansion for fuel economy; he proposed the four-stroke engine cycle as a means of accomplishing these conditions in a piston engine ( Fig.

Gasoline direct injection (GDI) allows better fuel economy with respect to the port-fuel injection configuration, through greater flexibility to load changes, reduced tendency to abnormal combustion, and reduction of pumping and heat losses. During homogenous charge operation with lean mixtures, flame development is prolonged and incomplete combustion can even occur, causing a decrease in stability and engine efficiency. On the other hand, charge stratification results in fuel impingement on the combustion chamber walls and high particle emissions. Therefore, lean operation requires a fundamentally new understanding of in-cylinder processes for developing the next generation of direct-injection (DI) SI engines. In this paper, combustion was investigated in an optically accessible DISI single cylinder research engine fueled with gasoline. Stoichiometric and lean operations were studied in detail through a combined thermodynamic and optical approach.

    6/30/2019 Fuel/Ignition • Injection • Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor • Description and Operation • Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor - P… MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR - PCM INPUT Report a problem with this article DESCRIPTION The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is attached to the side of the engine throttle body with 2 screws. The sensor is connected to the throttle body with a rubber L-shaped fitting. OPERATION The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) It contains a silicon based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at maximum. A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of 0 - 15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM. The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure.

  • The Performance of a Spark-Ignition Engine Fuelled with Natural Gas and Gasoline
    ATCi 2005, Conference on Automotive Technology, Dec 6-8, 2005, Putrajaya, Malaysia THE PERFORMANCE OF A SPARK-IGNITION ENGINE FUELLED WITH NATURAL GAS AND GASOLINE M.U. Aslam, H.H. Masjuki, M.A. Kalam, H. Abdesselam, M. Varman* T.M.I. Mahlia and M.A. Amalina Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Malaya, 50603, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Abstract An experimental evaluation has been made of the power output, specific fuel consumption and fuel conversion efficiency from running a 1.5 litre, 4-cylinder Proton Magma retrofitted spark ignition car engine with a dynamometer. Tests have been conducted at wide open throttle (WOT), with varying speeds and at constant speed with varying load. Performance, fuel consumption measurements were recorded under steady state operating conditions for gasoline and CNG (compressed natural gas). The engine was converted to computer integrated bi-fueling system from a gasoline engine and was operated separately either with gasoline or CNG using an electronically controlled solenoid actuated valve system. A PC based data acquisition and control system was used for controlling all the operation. A comparative analysis of the performance has been made for gasoline and CNG. With CNG operation on average, brake mean pressure and brake specific fuel consumption were found to decrease by around 16% and 18% respectively. However, in terms of fuel conversion efficiency, operation with CNG was found to be more efficient than with gasoline. This is due to the comparative lean operation of the engine with CNG compared to gasoline. Keywords: Air pollution; compressed natural gas; engine performance 1. Introduction It is well known that fossil fuel reserves all over the world are diminishing at an alarming rate and a shortage of crude oil is expected at the early decades of this century.
