Throttle Position Sensor - Service

Number 83-I-141 Section 6 Date 09/83
Subject: THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) SERVICE - ALL 1983 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.5L AND 1.8L FUEL INJECTED ENGINES
All 1983 2.5L and 1.8L fuel injected vehicles were built with Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) that are nonadjustable.

When servicing these vehicles for TPS related conditions, the closed throttle voltage check should be made. If specified voltage reading cannot be obtained (.450 to 1.250 volts) the sensor must be replaced.
