Dear, Friends

I just disconnect my car TPS but I found no significant effect, and I feel that my car at idle got more aggressive revs.

what effect if I disconnect my TPS?

regards
markus

If you disconnect the TPS, the ECU will only operate on its part throttle 'cruise' map.
You will lose the WOT (wide open throttle) power map, and the closed loop idle map.

So it mean that my car will lose a lot of power when running?

I just re check and adjust my TPS but confused?

I got continuity when my flap of throttle closed is it correct? or it must be continuity before the flap nearly closed about 0.1-0.2mm? what is the different?

Thank you Brian
