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

attachments didnt seem to work, so here we go trying again...

Couldn't say for sure but the early gen3 were not VVT so you may need to get a sensor from a non VVT motor.

Hi Glen M,

thanks for this. does that mean it may be better to aim for a Gen2 part? how will I know if the motor is VVT?

Cheers,

DD

As I say that's just a guess mate. I would of thought there is a part number stamped onto the sensor? Maybe best to look for that.

soaked the old one in WD40 and tried to flush it out a bit before putting back on last night. today's run to my physio session are tending towards a big improvement with no stalling and a pretty smooth and judder free drive.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for my freshly seeded lawn), it is lashing it down here right now, so I will put off removing it until a dry period appears. from memory, I don't recall seeing a number on the unit last night (but then my memory and my vision are both not what they once were).
