Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Plug 4 years 8 months ago #191232

My 1.8 TF was idling around 1500 and ODB2 reading indicated a faulty TPS as the throttle was stuck at 100%.

After a bit if investigation, I found one of the wires feeding the plug had snapped right up against the plug so the TPS was not getting the required 5 volt feed.

I managed to make a temporary connection and reset the TPS and all seems good.

My question is now where can I get a replacement plug for these so I can re attach the existing cables again.

I have searched but haven't seen any that look like they will fit?

any suggestions please?

Hi . There is a seller on Fleabay called 3 Way Components that have a vast array of this type of thing . You might have to give them a ring to see if they have that type of plug .

I am useless at copying links on my phone but the above looks right .

I have found them to be excellent for sourcing the plug pins for the thermistor / temperature gauge plugs on my TF and our Classic Mini. It would be useful to give 3waycomp the make of plug unless they can identify it from your photo . Let us all know how you get on.

They replied with this which looks very close - so for £3.75 - and money back if wrong - worth a try :)

many thanks

Hello - just an update - fitted the new plug and all sorted - the TPS now works as it should and keeps the engine speed under control

thanks

Well done . Just goes to show how such a small item can give a real headache of a problem. I have just done a similar job on a TF with a termistor switch plug and terminals .
