variable throttle position sensor

Postby Mr nanotech » Fri Apr 12, 2013 4:45 pm

this is the last thing stopping me from running my car. I bought a 626 tps but the fitting on it was completely different so I'm now on the market for another tps. This is going on my na6. I know of a few that are available but I don't know which is the most cost effective.
-automatic mx5
-bmw e30
-apparently a commdore?

I rang up a wrecker in my city about the e30 one but they require a part number and insist on it. So does anyone know the part number for this specific e30 tps? I'm confused and just want to get the stuff I need to run my car already.

If you get sick of second hand units.
I found a new TPS unit which has the D type slot. You will need to make some adjustments to the stock NA6 TP/switch plate, to make it fit. Think off the top of my head it was around the $120 Mark.

Auto VL Commodore TPS.

The stock throttle body should have the extra holes needed to mount it, just need to tap the threads.

Cost $0 from a "self serve" wrecker :lol:
