I brought my car over to my dad's to adjust the tps.. Well i removed it and put it back in and now the car wont run right...it makes a metalic tincrrnch sound when i hit the gas. how do you line up the tps? I need to know asap.....please help!

That metallic "tincrrnch" sound is probably detonation. Did you touch anything else on the car besides the TPS??? Possibly the spark plug wires?

jimmyv13

Are the wires back on in the correct order?

yes they are t on top l on bottom, the tps is out of whack is there some kind of mark i can line it up to?

wozzoom

Yep. you switched the wires on the trailing plugs...

wozzoom

The TPS being out of wack will not cause detonation. You changed the plugs...you put the trailing plug wires on backwards. Switch them and you'll be fine.

jimmyv13

T1 on the coil to T2 on the block, T2 on the coil to T1 on the block...that's backwards.
