Hi, I recently got an 04 fz6 as a project bike and I have been working on replacing the tps for a bit and when I got it mounted up and went to test it, the resistance readings on it were WAY off from what they should be. Total/max resistance (1st and 3rd prongs) was only 2.4kΩ and during a throttle sweep (2nd and 3rd prongs) it went from roughly 500Ω ish (lower than some videos I watched) to only 2.1kΩ, however it was a smooth increase in resistance until then. Total resistance should be roughly 4-5kΩ and sweep should go up to 3.5-6.5kΩ. Apparently I also have so much stuff disconnected (fuel tank and airbox stuff) that it won’t even go into diag mode so I would have to put everything back together to actually check the range in diagnostics. It’s a brand new OEM tps with the correct part number and everything that I paid over $200 for. Don’t know what the issue could be. Should I just throw enough stuff back on to see if it even runs or is there something else im missing? Thanks!

Hi, me and my friend decided it sounds fun to take his wrangler out for a few days of camping and off roading. It’s on 35’s so it’s got some alright clearance. Are there any good trails with camping (either sites or dispersed)? We are both beginners with off roading so nothing too technical because it really is just a stock jeep. However, we do want to have some fun so we want something more than just a dirt road. Easier steep sections, water crossings, mud, smaller rock sections are all good. We are in the springs so anywhere in the pikes peak area works good but we can travel if we need. Maybe a start to a new hobby here, super excited. Thanks!
