Ok, Ive just put an Rb20det into my S12 Gazelle

and all the wiring is complete... came to start up time the other night and it idles nicely!

however will not rev!

plugged the computer into the consult port and get an Error Code #43 tps (throttle position sensor)

now i have put a forward facing plenum on the rb20det so i had to extend the wires for the tps (both plugs)

theres a plug with 2 wires going into it

and theres a plug with 3 wires going into it, both for the tps

anyways the computer is telling me there is 0 volts registering on the tps, and when i open the throttle it doesnt change.

however i believe i have extended the wires correctly...

so i got out my multimeter .. pulled the plugs off and tested it... the 3 wire plug gave me 5.12V incomming from the loom with ignition on

and the 2 wire plug gave me 11.96V incomming from the loom with ignition on

are these values correct? if so does this mean my tps is stuffed? and why is the computer reading 0 volts when my multimeter is reading 11.96v and 5.12v?

could really do with some help guys... thanks

The 5v is the power feed ot the tps. You need to measure the voltage at the other two wires in the three pin plug, ome should be 0v(earth) and the other should be the signal, 0-5v depending on the throttle position. The 12v is an idle switch.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
