Engine Performance problem
2002 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 165,00 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure I can change my TPS myself, as far as removing the old and installing the new. But my question is, once it is installed, are their tweaks that need to be made to the system? Do I need to measure and adjust voltage to the TPS?

Thanks.

measure the voltages at closed and wot and mark them down before. then mark the housing off the old one in correspondence to the thorttlebody, basically outline it to help with installing the new one the same, then do the final tweeks to get it EXACT.
