Ride it w/the 16 in. wheel for one year , then decide what you want to do .

How 'bout that ! Some people like that

It is only to verify the TPS is perfect . An easy test to perform and you KNOW it is good and if you have problems you know to look elsewhere . All of these tests you are doing , you want to be familiar with to the point you will be able to do this w/o having to "think" .

So , this TPS is non-linear ? What is the reason / purpose of this ?

Simple to do . Connect between A / C ( outer ) terminals of the connector . You will be using a DVOM so it doesn't matter about polarity .

IDK when it started , but the car companies settled for around August/September for the manufacture of the beginning next model year . Really oddball productions were vehicles such as the Mustang . It started in April of 64 . These are known as the 64 1/2 Mustangs . Then later productions (in the same year) were 1965 models . The easiest way to tell them apart were the first productions were generator equipped before going to the alternator equipped cars .

Well , I purchased a 2003 . Date of production is 06/2002 with all the trimmings of an 02 .

Buddy , it is a matter of opinion . My 03 has an external pump .

When I can remember , I remove the battery from them when I finish . Jus like today I went to measure something........DEAD battery ! Maybe I will remember some day .

Uh oh . I can't get your link to work .

Sacrificial ? Just what are you doin' out there in that shop ?

I used a razor blade to remove the old boots . After getting them off and out of the way , I see the r.h. injector has not been spraying fuel . For now , I am looking to see which wires trigger each injector . I am going to manually trigger them to see the injector ( or lack of ) spray pattern . Then on to step 2 and beyond . It is now a matter of triggering each injector to get a good look at the spray pattern . The l.h. side is flooding and the r.h. side is the opposite . If I were smart enough to put the pics of things , you could see my problem . Now I am going to need advice on how to remove the injectors to send to a fuel injector service for repairs !

The question I am going for , I can't get the throttle bodies back far enough to install the new boots . I need to know the procedure . Do I disassemble , bend or break ?

I am going to replace the rubber boots on the throttle bodies on my 03 bike . Before I start , I would like advice , hot tips or anything to aid in this procedure . TIA !

You got me . a guaranteed crash !

I feel for ya brother . I wish I had comforting words .............

Duh , all laws are revenue producers under the guise of safety . If everyone did nothing illegal for 60 days ...............

If they still sell them , Snap-On sells a spark plug gapping plier that is PERFECT for gapping plugs . I don't remember the part # . I will check when the sun comes up and post it . You don't want to squeeze too hard or you can push the center electrode outta sight !

As far as the valve clearance setting , I would set them at a loose 0.006 & a loose 0.008 .

Mine is here & installed

Hmmmm. IDK what the idle speed is when the TPS angle is 0.540v . You should adjust idle speed w/the idle air bypass screws . Don't concern yourself w/watching a tach needle to get the idle speed you want .

I don't "think" the angle of the nipples have to be opposite for the driveshaft to be balanced . The concern is the coulped front/rear driveshaft phasing . This is critical so anyone that doesn't understand should watch videos , look at these driveshafts w/slip yokes to fully understand what is going on . Historically , I have seen a lot of these in pick-ups . big trucks , etc. where the driveshaft has been removed and not reinstalled correctly . Study this until you KNOW what is right and wrong on a two-piece shaft .

You synched the throttle bodies and adjusted the l.h. idle screw to get 0.540 mV on the tps ? I assume the air boots from the throttle bodies to cylinder head are in perfect shape ? I am having the same problem and find my air boots are cracked . I am getting new ones and hope this will cure my problem(s) . Mine cranks forever and when / if it starts , the plugs are wet and the engine misfires . BTW , my bike has been PERFECT in the past and this season I am scared to ride it past the driveway .
