i'm currently putting back the motor in my 02 viper and noticed the dcs flashes 3 times, assuming thisi s a tps, how do you repair a locked tps?
thanks

you have a 04 viper or a 02??? 02 doesnt have dcs(detonation control system), on a 02 its your warning lamp showing you it functions properly when you start it up.
Now if it continues to flash 3 times then pause after its running for a while then you need to look at the thumb warmer dial, open or short circuit in it.

its suposed to, its just tellin ya your light and system check are correct, I would have to look but I think the viper is 2 flashes and the srx is 3 on the coolant light, the viper uses the warning symbol, all is well if you get the cycle of the light then it stays off, its when its flasshing a certain sequence over and over again while running theres a problem!

02 viper flashes twice. At least mine does and it is running good. Over revving, but good. Maxdlx

well i may have had to many beers last ngiht when i finished putting the motor back together, the check engine light was flashing 3 times...figured it had something to do with the tps...looked and forgot to plug it in...woops...anyway the sled fouled a set of new plugs when i first started it...but put a new set in and it seems to be fine now...with new top end does the motor require less choke or something?/i think i may have flooded it...anyway thanks for your help guys
