Default Variable TPS ems-mess

I am using the BMW tps on my AEM EMS. Red wire is always 5V. Black is ground. Green is signal, changed to 2M (TPS) on the ecu from 2L (TPS Switch).

At no throttle, I get 1.8V, then it went to .5V at full throttle!? I switched the signal and ground at the TPS sensor, and I got .5V to 1.8V at full throttle. But after I ran the TPS calibration, my throttle position always says 0%. If I unplug the sensor wire at the TPS, it reads 5V and says 100% throttle.

Does anyone know what settings I need to change to get my EMS to read the throttle position as a % so it works right?

All of the tuning was done against MAP, will actually having a variable TPS mess up my tune?

Thanks in advance for even looking!

Is anyone running AEM on a 90-93 with a variable tps? If I could just look at someone's map, I can try to figure out what's going wrong.

Oops, found a link here and now it works.


"Idle switch input" => change it from "switch #5 grnd = off" to "switch is always off"
