Tps Help

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

I have been setting up my idle etc went to set the tps and i can only get it to give me continuity when i rota

te it well beyond the mounting holes i asume the flat part of the shaft can only be in one position?.

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

This is position i can get the switch to close as you can see well beyond the mounting bolts is it a us switch or possibly summit wrong with the shaft on throttle body.

Or does the flat on the shaft need to be turned 180degress as i may have put it together wrong?

are you gettig a click as it hits throttke closed?

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Only time i get the click is when i go past the mounting holes as in pics i do remember when i tried to strip the body i couldnt undo the nut that holds shaft and it just turned im wondering if shaft is 180 degrees out of position.

If you remove the air hose elbow and look into the throttle body you should be able to see the heads of the 2 screws that fix the butterfly to the spindle , if you cannot see them the spindle is 180 degrees out .Obviously its worth testing the TPS with a multimeter while its off the car .

just checked my pics and my spline is orientated the same as yours

Cool thanks mate i thought it would close in small amount of movement from slotted mount holes?

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

So am i right in thinking when its bolted on to body the small movement you have on the screws i should get a open and closed signal if i rotate the small amount.

[welshpug 1,661]

you should hear a click and lose continuity as it moves off the throttle stop screw

then as it hits W.O.T you should gave continuity on the other pin from the centre.

Thats what i thought i dont get continuity when i put it on its mounting screws but do if i rotate the tps round to position in pic wonder if i have a faulty switch?

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Just had another test in daylight i can hear the switch clicking but no continuity so looks like a broken switch

Just looking at the wiring diagram it shows 3 wires to tps i can only see 2 pins in connector im guessing one has pushed in how hard is it to remove rubber boot?.

Easy. Just peel it back, though I am sure you will be putting a new one one as they are not that much.

 

I think it is this as I bought one but can't find the link for exactly what I picked up:
