jono Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I found a reference to a crowd called Schmucks who sold one to a user. I have looked at Rock with not even finding a TPS let alone price and availability. Autozone claim to do one but asks for my zip code but as I am not in US I used Grayland WA as a zip and it sent me through captcha and still no like me ! It wont like a four digit postcode we use in Oz !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Not going that way US$300 plus !! Checking my memory on things, Series 1 mpfi that I know of was either XT NA or RX Turbo and they used what the manuals refer to in the diagnostic trouble codes [and there is two trouble codes] as Idle switch and WOT switch. Three wires, one being a common to both circuits - EARTH. Three pins on the TPSwitch and the manual shows the arrangement of the pins The other manual I have is for 87 XT only and has two trouble codes also involving the TPSensor , one code for idle switch, the other code for the throttle sensor - a variable output in Volts I hope - the test is for Ohms ! This one has four pins, and the manual does NOT show arangement of the pins Then there is the spfi which does not get a mention in either of my factory manuals for Series 1 or 87 XT No mention of parts in the parts manuals either The spfi has a TPsensor of four pin variety The odd bit of the XT Spider TPSensor is due to the roational direction of the TPSensor to work backwards in comparison to mpfi NA 88 onwards and spfi The spfi 4 pin and the 88 on TPSensor may be the one and same part number anyone got part number for spfi TPSensor? 22633AA010 is for 87 non spidey 22633AA051 is for 88 - 91 mpfi 22633AA050 88 turbo Oh, and the US also got NA Spiders too ?? We didnt !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Actually. my device that I am going to install only needs one input of 0 to 5 Volts maybe 0.5 to 5V so any of the cheap ones available that turn the right way and have same size throttle shaft and cut away could do the job. Five bucks for a TPS !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) This https://www.efihardware.com/products/2502/TPS-Kit-Including-Bosch-TPS might solve a problem for others that may be trying to use a spider and its throttle body on a Series 2 EA82 as it works clockwise or counter clockwise !! Nope, sorry, this is a three wire job so does not have an idle position switch, nothing to say they dont have something though But not for those needing a simple TPSwitch on series one mpfi Edited December 31, 2017 by jono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Lookas like there is no 4 pin TPS for standard log style inlet manifold mpfi EA82 , just the spfi and spiders have 4 pin TPSensors Also looks like this forum has been mine alone last 24 hours - what happened, calendar turn over?

el_freddo Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Bookface happened... Gregory's manual has some good information on the SPFI I'm sure you can find a digital manual online to follow... Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Reckon I got this one sorted Bennie [theoretically anyway ] thanks. The efihardware seemed to be the way to go, then I found my spfi four pin has some cousins staying nearby, the three pin Series 1 and series 2 3[which is really only two pins/wires] plus the three wire round plug sensor hok up Gees, you'd think I d finish one project before think about another wouldnt ya ! Still gotta pull EA82T heads off, swap near new valve springs onto spare heads, reassemble. Strip down AWD box to fix what i fubbergusted, then load it all into B3. B3 engine can then go into B2. The EJ22 can go in a crate for a while while I play with wires and maybe do a Bennie and get it all working on the bench LPG conversion and all in readiness for something down the track. About to pull a 150,000km ea81 to slap my turbo conversion gear on out of curiosity and stop for a breathe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
