Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS)

[ski_doo1200]

Have a 1997 Vmax 700 SX. Evidently, I have a bad (TPS). Where is this thing located and is it any harm to run without one?

You sure your not getting mixed up with the TORS (throttle over ride system)?

Well that's a good question. I have a manual and I can't find anything on a TPS. The TORS, I do see. I was told TPS, but it must be TORS. I guess the same question applies - Can it effect engine performance and is it needed?

Tps/ Tors

Jim: In search box type TORS. There is a write up of both TPS and TORS. Sounds like your sled has both. Hope the search helps. Take care.

Just throwing it out there.

Have you installed handlebar risers. if so your TPS could be fine, and you just need a throtle cable extension.

The 97 SX DID NOT have a TPS (throttle positioning sensor) on them. They do have a TORS (throttle override system?) on them though.

it's a safety feature to prevent your sled from running wild with a stuck throttle cable. it can be bypassed and run and will not affect performance but you will also lose that safety feature. I run mine bypassed on my srx because I don't run stock carbs, I just run a tether switch
