The VFAQ for this topic is now not accessible. What should the TPS voltage be when setting the TPS properly.

I’ve seen 0.63 volts and 0.48-0.52 given. I do not have DSMLink.

Any help would be nice as well as proper procedure for IPS on the throttle body.
 
On a 2g it's .63, not exactly sure on a 1g
Not even close. When running a stock ECU the correct TPS adjustment is based on where the internal IPS switches not some TPS voltage.


On a 1G, Mitsubishi says 0.48-0.52 volts at curb idle

Do you also have the adjustment for the IPS? For some reason vfaq just doesn’t want to work for me.
 
Your not supposed to touch the IPS or the 2G SAS according to Mitsubishi and I can see why. It's the single most critical adjustment for getting a good idle and very difficult to get right even after following the procedure.

Anyway, the FSM says for a 1G if it's been messed with:

Caution - The idle position switch has been adjusted by the manufacturer.
Do not, therefore, disturb the setting of the idle position switch.
If the setting is disturbed as a result of carelessness, or if the idle position switch is replaced, make the necessary setting as described below.


(1) Sufficiently loosen the tension of the accelerator cable.
(2) Disconnect the connector of the idle position switch (fixed speed adjusting screw).
(3) Loosen the lock nut of the idle position switch (fixed speed adjusting screw).
(4) Sufficiently loosen the idle position switch by turning it in the counterclockwise direction and fully close the throttle valve

Caution - Be sure to completely close the throttle valve.

(5) Connect a tester (ohm range) between the switch’s terminal and the body.
(6) Turn down the idle position switch until it enter the “ON” state where the switch establishes a continuity to body (this point is called “touch point”). Turn the switch down 15/16 of a turn more from that point.

NOTE - The “touch point” refers to the point where the throttle valve begins opening.

(7) While holding the idle position switch to make sure that it does not turn, tighten the lock nut.
(8) Adjust the accelerator cable.
(9) Adjust the basic idle speed.
(10) Setting the throttle position sensor.
