gkjnr 0 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 i jet washed the engine bay and now its running like a bag of bolts, its dumping straight fuel into the engine , i,ve taken off all connections and wd 40,d them and blew out any water with an air line , when i remove my tps connectiion it gets better ,when i put it back on it won,t idle , also does anybody know the colour of the tps wires from rear of the car to front on the connector cos mine was crap and i cut it off and put krimps on it instead its just incase i,ve mixed the wires up, i might add thayt at full throttle its not bad but i can feel it retarding the timing any advice please Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 wait until it dries out mate. Use something to dry it? I did this but luckily it was a hot sunny day so i left the bonnet open and it ran the same once dried out. Link to post Share on other sites
gkjnr 0 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 i,ve dryed all the connectors and sprayed them with wd40 ,its doin my head in ,i was just wondering if dampness in the throttle position sensor could cause these problems Link to post Share on other sites

gkjnr 0 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 na stupidly thought it would be ok ,any clues on the sequence of the wires to the tps, i rekon i might have got water in it cos when i unplug it the fault goes away(nearly) i,ve also had the cover off the roker cover and cleaned and sprayed the coil connections with wd40 but to be honest they were dry Link to post Share on other sites
