REQ: Auto-Zero TPS?

Post by ErnieJones »

I was just looking at the MS3-Pro manual (nice board, BTW !!) and came across the Auto-Zero TPS feature. This seems like it would be handy.

Just a thought, that's all :D
Thanks you;

I was thinking of removing it from MS3 as I'm not sure it works very well.

Agreed.

I have considered putting a switch in place of the TPS and using that for idle logic, The TPS zero seem to drift with temperature/system voltage or something... setting a few extra counts negative seems to work OK though.

Edit: I guess one could put the switch across the TPS and create a larger step that would ~eliminate the idle logic issue.
Always doing things the hard way, MS2 sequential w/ v1.01 mainboard, LS2 coils. 80 mile/day commuter status.
