97 Sidekick Sport 1.8L - CUTS OUT AT 1/4 THROTTLE
#71
keep in mind, your car works just like all MPI cars,, made. 100s of millions. l
the new cars learn the TPS, my JEEP has over, 10 learn modes,
but back in 1996-98 , the shop just sets this sensor. its just a one time deal, doing that, the left for ever.
The voltage only must not drop below 0.3 or go to the +rail, (5v)see? its not precision at all
the ecu watches how fast you move the throttle pedal to evoke, enrich mode. to avoid micro bogging.

it's a problem today (old suzukis,toyotas ,etc)
as many shop forgot all this old ways, the look and scratch head, and too lazy to RTM, read the manual,,

one person here is searching now in the whole stated of OHIO to find a mech, that can 1: read, and 2: use a feeler gage.(G16)
2 lost arts
on going for 1 full year, this saga.

owner hands the offical PDF from SUZUKI, to the mech, 2 pages only.
and they pitch it in the trash, one more wasted trip and one more $200 bill for nothing gained. (sad no?)
DTC set , yelling TP pin failing for 1 full year. (the ECU never lies about this)

if you dont have TP errors , best is to leave it alone.
how ever, most TP glitches are ignored. by ECU and do cause problems, a bad TPS this is. all do that like at 200k miles
depends on cars use.

the sensor is sold by SMP( at top brand,aftermarket)
1996-98 1.8L DOHC = TH237
heads up ,Suzuki sells only the whole throttle body to attain 1 TPS and 1 MAF, $1500 , plus tax, ship and long delays
so keep that in mind.
