paulbin 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I has my vr on the diagnostics yesterday and we found that the throttle position sensor is playing up as it was only reading 3% throttle on idle and 75% on full open throttle. Is the TPS dead? What problems would that give me? Link to post Share on other sites
yakuza racer 16 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 if the tps is not fuctioning correctly then the car should feel a bit sluggish as the signal is not being sent to the ECU correctly. also when messed the car will idle irratically and idle above normal 900rpm (like 1300rpm)replace it, its not expensive for peace of mind, also when you remove it you will see that one of the four clips on the inside of the TPS will be broken, it looks like a cross on the inside.

paulbin 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ok I've been doing some digging around and I unplugged my throttle position sensor yesterday and the car died, would this mean the maf sensor is dead? Link to post Share on other sites
