rob_bower Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Could a few glanza owners look at the plug on their tps and look how many wires it has and what shape it is. I had a look at ro55ifumi's yesterday and his has three wires, one black, one brown, one yellow and its squarish plug. My tps has the same connection but I can't find the relevant plug where it should be is another plug with 4 wires 3 of which are the same. So I'm guessing there are 2 types. Any help appreciated.

Idrees Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Do you have the part number off yours? I have one here that has 3 wires, see picture hereCheersIdrees Quote
rob_bower Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 No the one that was on the engine was smashed when I bought it but I had another tps at home so I swapped it over. Now I'm wondering if the are 2 different types. Quote

Socks Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 This annoys me... Why bother changing it! Chuffing Manfacturers! Quote
rob_bower Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 Mike any way of know what the difference is and which had 4 or 3 wires,plug shape etc? Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 The N/A one is 3 wire too I carnt think what the 4 wire plug could be! I have the idle valve under the throttle body too but thats only a 3 wire too. I keep going over the photos because Kat has the starlet today will get to the bottom of it tho lol!! Quote

mech5107 Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) Most turbo manuals and N/As have the 3wire one, actually it's not a tps, just a 2 position switch, idle and full open.Autos have always the 4wire tps, full variable resistance one.I thought that 20v 4age had 4wire ones....Also, the 3wire is operating on a D shaped throttle axle, but 4wire one operate on a double latch type axle.When changing to 4wire for a standalone should need the tb also.Else a common colvern type tps will work on the place of 3wire sensor Edited December 7, 2012 by mech5107 Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 The N/A one is a full scale sensor not a on/of switch like the turbo ones. Quote
