New TPS now hunting on idle

Post by Danni22 » Sat Apr 20, 2013 7:56 pm

Iv replaced my smashed TPS and set it up but now it's hunting on idle until its warm ranging from 1500-2500, if I unplug the TPS it's stops??

Faulty TPS???

No you just need to set it up, I just turned mine in the slots till I settled out but you should set it up on a volt meter
236bhp and 170ft/lb stock :whistle:

Iv found the problem the TPS iv revieved are wrong

They don't fit the correct way or rotate the correct way...


What to do now???

Haha I mean how do I no if I'm ordering the right one These where listed as a h22 prelude fitment ones but clearly are not

The one that caused it to hunt had a blank spot in the multimeter so that's in the bin

you can see the tps is wrong when fitted the connector points up also when you open the throttle it forces the tps to move

Is that the one I sent you Danny? It should be fine bud. It's exactly the same as the OEM one I also had removed.

Yeah it is..

When iv came to fit it well it won't fit, the connector points up not down as it should and the internals twist the wrong way

When you receive it let me no what you think

You've sent it back have you? Pretty sure it was exactly the same in every aspect as the one removed from my Lude, but I'll double check.

The one I've got here, the pin locates in the throttle body and then the TPS unit is rotated 5-10 degrees before you screw it down.
