A follow up of on TPS replacement. I need a new one in my 01, 360, yes the surgeing while the cruise is on. Question: I have heard that an adjustment needs to be made for the current throttle position, is this true or just plug it in and let it ride? Question 2, any suggestions on replacement front rotors? I have been through factory replacements and the same result, this frigging thing eats brakes. So time to spend the big bucks b/c this is becoming a 10-12K habit. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Just change out the TPS and then reset the computer by unhooking the battery cable and then turning the ignition key to "run" for about 30 seconds. Turn key off and reconnect batt cable. Good to go. The rotor deal - for $30 ea at NAPA - I just change the rotors about once every 25K......

 

I did the TPS modification which i found here. i had a little bit of a surging problem, and now, it has gone away and the throttle response is much better.

it only costs like 10 cents to do and about 15 minutes of your time. its on page 20

 

I used powerstop pads & rotors and my truck stopped awesome. the rotors were cross drilled and cost only $40 bux or so more than what I was getting at Napa...

 

If you're looking for brake rotors that can endure longer service intervals, most auto parts stores offer a severe service line of replacement brake parts which usually involves blue-printed 2 or 4 piston calipers, ceramic pads, and rotors that have been cross drilled and/or slotted for high heat disippation. When buying replacements, your pads and rotors have to be matched in terms of quality and rated duty cycle (light/heavy duty). Running a high quality pad on an oem rotor will result in your rotors wearing much faster. Also, make sure you follow the recommended break-in procedure when installing new rotors, not doing so can vastly shorten the life-span of your brakes.
