Can anyone tell me how to set TPS to the correct position? I removed it while cleaning the throttle body, and now I can't seem to get it positioned correctly. The engine keeps revving its self while in park. I read AllData's instruction about starting with a 15 degree rotation to the right and then adjusting it using a Toyota hand held meter (which I don't have). Any ideas?
It's unfortunate that you removed the TPS as that was unnecessary. The spring-loaded throttle shaft will pivot 90 degrees and you can rotate this by hand when the car is IG-OFF. This gives you good access to clean the throttle body interior and throttle plate. I suggest that you will need to have your local Toyota dealer service dept adjust the TPS correctly.
A couple of options here. TIS has a procedure, but it does require techstream. Buy a used throttle body and bolt it on. Go to a dealer or independent toyota shop and have the set it. (towing+labor =??) Eric
