This guy I know has a very expensive Matco scanner, and he was nice enough to come over this evening and plug into my GTS to see if we couldn't pin-point the cause of my Black smoke out the tail pipe upon hard acceleration.
In another post I had, I got great advice from Vipernewbie, Viperzilla, Russ M, Gerald, Fishtail, and TomF&LGoR. The assumsion was that I might have bad O2 sensor(s), map sensor, plugs, wires etc... That's when I decided to call my buddy, and have him come over with the scanner to narrow it down.
At first everything was testing fine, and then we noticed that the TPS (throttle position sensor) was reading low at wide open throttle. The reading was 3.6v @ WOT, and the min was supposed to be 4.0v or greater @ WOT.
Could this be the culprit ?? If it's not reading the min required voltage, what would the performance result be ?? Anyone run into this themselves before ??
BTW....... Everythng else tested out to be Fine. All were within the required specs.
