Urgent Help Please - TPS - Car Undriveable !

**ra23celica** · 08-03-2006, 12:29 AM

Brett,
I have checked and cleaned the ISCV, found 12v at the two power lines, and got the thing to step in and out when you touch the other 4 terminals in the plug, so that would seem to be sweet.
Bellhousing not here yet mate, but public holiday yesterday and WA does stand for wait awhile.
I'm pretty sure I have killed the TPS considering the range of values I am getting when I test it and no matter how many times I try it on my car, it still does not work properly.
So, I will try a new one and see what that does.
Cheers mate.
Mitch.

okay, sounds like the ISCV isnt the problem.

good luck anyway

Thank mate.
I will be tweaking things again in the garage tonight in an effort to get it driveable at least.
Cheers,
Mitch.
(No bellhousing yet!)

So does it look like we'll be fixing it at the dyno day?

Better bring a couple of spare TPS's Frank

**JustCallMeOrlando** · 09-03-2006, 05:43 PM

Only got one and it's broken, it should be fine to check if it's the problem, but I wouldn't be relying on it.

**ra23celica** · 09-03-2006, 11:52 PM

All good suggestions guys and much appreciated, but I managed to fix it. Frank was right, I did not have it on the right way, I had the wingnut tabs forward of the slots in the TPS, not in them.
Anyway, I'm still not boosting as much as I would like too, so please give me details on the dyno day, and I will try and fit a boost guage before then.

Dyno Day details are in the WA section

w00t! I finally get to see this sicne it's been GZE powered!

I did actually look in the Events forum for this before I posted but somehow I thought that 'Interstate' was a heading rather than a sub-folder....
Anyway - I hope to be there early in the afternoon, and if you are short of 20 and Adsport gets his run, I will lob in as well, providing all the other reserves get their chance, but its running as rich as Bill Gates and I don't think its worth more than 76kW, to go with its age.
And my motto with my car is, it may be slow - but its rough too....
