Potentiometer



Actually I checked it while in the car through the TEC 2 software and my 
laptop. While monitoring it during driving I noticed some peculiar jumping 
up and down in the voltages when it was suppose to be climbing. I also 
checked it when the car was off but just had voltage to it and was hand 
turning the throttle plate. Put the new used one on and it was smooth all 
through the range from 1.45 volts to 3.32 volts. Is that a normal range?? 
The other one was 1.52 to 3.89 volts The TEC 2 keeps referring to a range of 
0 to 5 volts but you can program your specific range with it.
