rocketwheels Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 ....I've been searching thru the post , I remember someone telling how to use the more common TPS in place of the expensive one (that I now need to replace). Anyone bookmark it ? I'm running an '88 6cyl/5spd , parts store showin mine uses the "not in stock, we gotta order that one" that cost so dang much.

AeroNautical Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Your thinking of the auto and manual TPS sensors. The manual one is hard to find and over $100 alot of the time, the auto one is common and cheap, maybe $30. Rock auto has both, and you can use both with no issues. This is what you want: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=951161&cc=1181584 When connecting it to a manual, you only use the oval 3 prong connector, and cover up the other one. That would normally send information to the auto tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketwheels Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think I found it...."Cruisers Renix Tips" says use the cheap sensor for the automatics and don't worry about the extra 4 prong plug in, not needed. This is proven to work, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
