17086008 on 87 cutlass vin Y TPS ADJUSTMENT ?
« on: September 02, 2019, 07:28:24 PM »
I have a engine light coming on periodically and from what I have seen on a troubleshoot page on this is pointing to an adjustment on the TPS and is there a tool for this procedure ? and is there a replacement TPS available for it ? Thanks for any help available

The TPS are readily available.  Cheap on Ebay so I don't even bother to market them.

Access and adjustment is a little tricky, you have to remove the aluminum cover over it and find a way to turn it.  It's the smallest hex head screw you will ever see!......Cliff

I just gently drive a small roll pin over them then pull it off when I'm done....
