No kick down and spark retard problems
No kick down and spark retard problems Ok so replaced my knock sensor because I was getting knock retard. Long story short that's fixed but the car hasnt been downshifting and now it's pulling timing. The car is a 95 Camaro auto.
I used data master and logged what was happening and saw that my tps was only showing 85% at wot so l replaced it with a new one. But it's still showing 85% at wot and it's pulling 7* timing also.
What hell could be the problem? I'm ready pull my hair out because I don't know where to start. If anyone can help or wants to look at the datamaster file please let me know!!!

anyone have any clue why my new tps is still only showing 85% at WOT?
Im still not understanding why its pulling timing again. After I replaced the knock sensor I data logged a few revs while sitting still and was not getting any timing pulled...then a few days later I data logged again while driving and its pulling timing again. Not sure why? or its normal while driving around under a load?
I think I have to seperate problems but any ideas would be great!

Did you look at your TB blades to make sure they are 100% open or completely horizontal, and verify at that point the TPS is at 100% or close to it?
You can look at it with a DC Voltmeter as well, it should be around a half a volt closed and close to 4.5 to 5 volts all the way open., you can also slightly elongate the holes that the fasteners go through so you can adjust this.
