Gen 3 Throttle Position Sensor - part numbers?
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2016 12:42 pm
Hi,
My girlfriend has recently acquired a 2002 2.0 Auto SE which tends to hunt in the revs a little. once warm and in heavy traffic it will hunt more, drop a lot, and regularly stall.
after much reading around, I have checked the inlet manifold for leaks (seems ok), changed plugs and checked HT leads (swapped out for a known ok set). the TPS seemed a cheap enough fix at £8.99 from ebay, so it was ordered and received.
old one off, area cleaned, o-ring and connector seal greased and new one fitted. go to fit the plug/socket and the plug won't go into the new TPS socket - gutted!
does anybody know if the TPS on the 2002 was a particularly unusual part? Does anybody have a part number for this?
attached are photos of the original and new TPS, the original has a longer neck for the socket with ribs for the plug to slide into. The new one has a much shorter socket with a plain female part.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
DD
