TPS% at idle

[john_d]

is around 10% ok?

is around 10% ok?

I asked this question before, as my OBD reader was showing about 9.7% at idle, and the answer I got was that it is perfectly normal, I just thought it seemed a little high to maintain tickover but apparently it's absolutely fine.

obd scanner reads on my accord 9.8% @ idle too.
i think TPS readings are not continuos but "stepped"
in fact also full throttle does not show 100% but around 91%

remember that we don't have "drive by wire" throttle, this is why a more precise position is not needed by ecu

I found out that there is ~9.5-9.8 on autos with manual gearbox. and 10.5-10.7 on autos with automatic gearbox

So what is TPS reading? Presumably the throttle is completely closed at idle with the IACV allowing air in. Does it take the calculation and estimate from MAP values? :unsure:
