How does the throttle position sensor work on a GM Truck?
Like the majority of throttle position sensors on modern fuel injected cars and trucks nowadays, the GM TPS is a three wire sensor. Each wire provides a specific type of signal to the TPS or to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module=Fuel Injection Computer). Below are the circuit descriptions of each:
Can a TPS sensor slip out of adjustment?
If GM TPS sensors have any inherent flaws, it is a tendency to slip out of adjustment. Though this can happen to any car, many GM owners have reported such a failure. The TPS must be adjusted (rotated) so that it reads idle and full-throttle positions properly, or it may appear to be malfunctioning.

Is there a throttle position sensor on a Chevy pick up?
The throttle position sensor in this video is on a Chevrolet pick up truck. Most General Motors cars will have throttle position sensor’s like this.
What causes a GMC Sierra 1500 to lean?
The only other thing that will cause a lean condition is low fuel pressure. A vacuum leak will be problematic at idle and go away with higher rpms. Low fuel pressure will get much worse at higher rpms. 123 people found this helpful.
What should fuel pressure be in a GMC Sierra 1500?
I assume there really is no way of testing the the regulator itself considering it’s incorporation. 38 people found this helpful. The test is: 12-15 psi when the key is turned on and the pump will shut off within 3-5 seconds and the fuel pressure should drop to 12-13 psi. 11 being the bare minimum and 13 the Max.
