Ok dually,,,,,, thanks again:thumbup2:

Join the club... 2nd cup and wound up tight now... But as for setting the voltage on a old sensor. Typical the sensor is sold complete assembled and calibrated so you don't need to adjust a new sensor. Also after playing with mine I thing people are confused about the voltage mark on the tag. This is the voltage where the On/Off idle switch trade out. So if your ABOVE this voltage then the APPS is OFF IDLE and if your below this voltage then your ON IDLE. So if you voltage is a bit low is fine. But if you voltage is above the printed tag then systems like high idle, exhaust brake, transmission shifting, etc don't work properly because the ECM/PCM always assume your pushing the throttle. I know I need to revise this way of thinking and post a update in my APPS write up... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=970

Mines below and the damn high idle still wont work :banghead::mad:

ok, so basicly the turning of the screw is just to take up the slack in the pedal? and what ever the volts read for your paticuler sensor thats the base line. I got confused as I seen .553 and that was a set in stone voltage, sorry for all the questions, just want to do it and be done with it

Sorry... I was trying to create the graphic quickly... But it what every your tag voltage is you want to be slightly below this number by like -0.010 Volts would be a good starting point... Because as the APPS wears out and the voltage rises or lowers then it might cross the line again...

So Michael, in your opinion, does this new sensor repair wear out quicker that a factory one? or just the gradual wear, and no way of adjusting,,,, so in reallity I should keep a spare,i remember i had a 2001 power stroke, had 2 cam shaft positioner sensors on board all the time.cause you never know, thanks
