New from Salt Lake City

Sorry, should have done an intro before I jumped into it. My fifth Toy - 2 FJ 40's, 1 SR 5, 1 Tacoma. This my first Tundra, 2000 Limited, Totally stock. Edited.

Can some one point me to TPS replacement discussions? I have an intermittent check engine light. I had a complete diagnostic done along with having the TB cleaned. Clean bill of health. Tech said was pointing to TPS but thought a good cleaning should do the trick, didn't. Light comes on at start, then drops after 3 or so starts usually. No throttle or idle issues, just the bothersome light.
I have a 2000 4.7, thanks for any input.

 

Thanks, I probably could have done for myself had I read the welcome page a bit better.

 

Welcome from CO. I prefer USA "made" salt from Utah. Non iodized of course. Pics of truck please.

 

Give me minute, I'll get there.

 

Well hurry up!! ............. Seriously , you have found the best Tundra forum. Pass on the word to your fellow Utah Tundra owners.

 

Shouldn't

 

We have salt, mostly on the roads though.

 

Can't make jerky or Margaritas without salt.........

 

Thanks for Welcome. Not as clean as it used to be, but still pretty white. With snow of course. And salt.

 

Tpms is different from tps. I believe the op is talking throttle position?

If u could take a picture of the throttle body that'd help me know which one u have...

 

Can do, won't be until later though tonight, or in the morning with better light. Was told there seem to be a variation in the signal from the throttle position sensor. Thought possibly a dirty connection, hence the cleaning. Thanks.

 

Welcome from another Utah member

 

Welcome to the site!

 

Need more Utes here like you guys. Has to be more Utah Tundra owners. Spread the word.

 

Hey, here's the throttle body pics.

 

Ok so what code are throwin? A throttle position code? Not a throttle motor code or accelerater pedal position?

 

I believe it was accelerator position. I'm not certain to be honest I had my local mechanic put code reader on it before I took it to a proper tech. He showed me how the signal was changing when you hit the accelerator pedal, only enough for him to think a good cleaning under the throttle body cover. I know that doesn't really answer your question though. Might have to to have it read again so as not to waste anyone's time here.

 

Welcome to the forum. That's one clean 1st gen.

 

Thanks, I'm feelin welcome here.
And yeah, pretty clean for a 16 year old truck.
