IGNITION TIMING

All Jeep vehicles are equipped with Powertrain Control Module (PCM) computerized ignition system. PCM controls ignition timing. Adjustment is not required or possible.

IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE

All Jeep vehicles are equipped with Powertrain Control Module computerized ignition system. PCM controls idle speed and air/fuel mixture. Adjustments are not required or possible.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)

  1. Turn ignition on. Check TPS output voltage at sensor
    wiring harness center terminal. At idle, output voltage should be
    greater than .2 volt.

  2. Gradually open throttle plate. Output voltage should
    gradually increase as throttle plate is opened. At wide open throttle,
    output voltage must be less than 4.8 volts.

  3. If voltages are not as specified, make sure 5-volt input
    and ground circuits between TPS and engine controller are okay. Repair
    circuits, if necessary. If TPS output voltages are still not as
    specified, replace TPS. Adjustment is not required or possible.

NOTE: Also see appropriate throttle position sensor tests in appropriate G - TESTS W/ CODES article.
