I checked the TPS, it is the newer model number.
After adjusting the governor linkage to favor more throttle, the slowdown problem is allot allot better! “if” it’s still there it is barely noticeable now! Only small down side is the slow idle is around 1050 instead of 950 before. Hence why it really should be simply calibrated by the cat ET…
For the most part I believe that proves the tps simply needs be calibrated.
Now that I understand the underspeed system it all makes sense, thank you Chrisso for explaining it!
Even the certified Cat technician doesn’t understand why the tps calibration would have anything to do with the machine slowing down… (even after I pointed him towards the Cat document mentioning the slowdown problem that Nige posted.)
