yoz, ZX4,

I did a search ard my house and found a bracket that I think, with some adjustments and mod, can be used to mount the switch. Its a mini shelf-bracket. Abt 6.5cm by 6.5cm. Made of stainless steel and quite thick and sturdy. If you want to mount it on the fairing-stay bracket mount at the chassis, gotta drill one of the holes a bit. You want?

6.5 by 6.5 seems abit big and long man ....

Throttle Position Sensor(TPS)

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), provides the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), critical throttle information that is used for ignition and fuel injection operation. The TPS is located on the left side of the rear throttle body.

A function of the FI system aids in TPS adjustment. An LCD on the tachometer displays FI malfunction codes and sensor adjustment bars. The bars are visible to the left of the malfunction code. Only one bar is visible at a time.

The "c00" code is visible when no malfunction is detected. If a code other than "c00" appears, follow the troubleshooting procedure in the TL1000S service manual, section 4. When the throttle position sensor is correctly adjusted, only the centre bar is visible.

The Mode Selector Switch is used to display TPS alignment bars on the LCD dash.

The connector for the switch is located under the passenger seat, along the right side of the storage compartment tray. A rubber cap covers the white connector, (W/R,B/W wires).

Take the rubber cap off the connector and plug in the mode selector switch.

The screw holding the TPS to the throttle body are a tamper proof T-25 Torx style. This type of tool is needed if the TPS requires adjustment.

Use a floor mount cooling fan directed at the radiator and the engine during TPS and Throttle Body Synchronization.

When running the engine, maintain the coolant temperature between 160 to 190.

If the low fuel lamp on the dash is illuminated, lower the tank and add fuel.

To verify TPS adjustment turn the mode selector switch to "on" and use the procedure below.

 

Without the engine running the lower or middle bar may be visible.

Start the engine, allow it to idle.

At 1200 RPM the centre adjustment bar should be visible.

If the centre bar is not visible, the TPS must be adjusted.

Use the Torx tool to loosen the TPS screws.

Rotate the TPS until the upper bar is visible.

Expect a delay of about one second as the bar display changes.

Slowly rotate the TPS in the other direction until the centre bar becomes visible.

Use light pressure, as a small amount of movement on the TPS will result in a large change on the display.

After adjusting the TPS, tighten the screws.

Check to make sure the centre bar is still visible.

Rev the engine slightly and allow it to idle.

Adjust the TPS again if the centre bar is not visible.

TPS adjustment above idle must be checked.

As the throttle opens _just past idle_ the bar should become visible in the top position.

Closing the throttle and allowing the engine to idle should return the bar to centre.

Another way to verify above idle adjustment is to use the fast idle, (choke), lever.

Open the lever so the engine speed rises to 1400 RPM.

The top adjustment bar should be visible at 1400 RPM.

If the top bar does not become visible off idle, further adjustment of the TPS is needed.

Adjust the TPS so the centre bar is visible at idle, but the top bar is visible at 1400 RPM.

Rev the engine and allow it to return to idle several times to make sure the settings are correct.

Always check the adjustment bar display after tightening throttle position screws.

 

 

Abstracted from Steve's homepage.... hope it helps

say, guys, any of you got a digital camera?

I'm starting out on a mini-project. Every DIY I do, I'm trying my best to take pics and do a guide write-up. Problem is of course, I dun have a camera. Last 2 DIYs I did, I borrowed from my bro his camera. But it wun be available for a while.

Finally, a pic of the ghetto tool I built. Here:

Beware! Large image....

Total cost-> $2

Its essentially a long 1-metre tube I divided into 2. Filled with 4T. Let it settle for a few hours. Then I marked the top level for both sides. The wood was supposed to be a marking stick for the tube. But I sucked in carpentry.

Anywayz, the idea is to insert both tubes into the vacuum port of the TBs. Switch the engine on and see which cylinder is sucking in more air. The oil level that increases more gradually than the other will be the one at fault. So, need to play with the adjustment screw and bring it down such that it drops down. When both meet at the same level again, adjust such that both maintain their level (neither rises).

Its not 100% accurate. But it can be as good as 99% accurate if you're patient with it. Just make sure not to suck any 4T into the TBs. I used 4T coz its thick enuff to slow down its rise into the vacuum port.

I HEARD some ppl says that the rear cyclinder needs to be of higher rate as it is hotter
