    TPS jumping up and down all the time

    Hi,

    Recently I noticed that my throttle position sensor is reporting an unstable signal.

    It rapidly changes up and down few %. The higher TPS value, the higher the amplitude is.

    Can anyone tell what could be the issue here?

    I already did the thottle relearn (by disconnecting the battery and leaving the car idle for half hour).

    Are you actually feeling this when driving or just being seen in the scanner? Just from the looks of things, although you aren't showing map being logged to verify - it looks like you might actually have the throttle opening and closing??? If it is - is your setup boosted?

    Hi.
    N/a. Not boosted. Stock intake. Stock throttle body.

    I don't feel any fluctuations while driving. Shall I remove the intake tube to check if the blade is moving?

    Idle also stable.

    I will log MAP also and come back.

    I checked again with MAF and MAP. Both are stable while TPS is jumping:

    But then sth strange happened. I dragged the window to make the charts layout larger and after I resized the window .... the fluctuations disappeared and the chart became smooth. The same happens when I save the log, close the VCM scanner and open again the previously saved log. Is this normal or I have some problem with MPVI2?
