it would seem that i have a throttle position sensor problem

since getting the version4Wolf in, the hand controller informs me about the TPS and where its position is

it fluctuates though

eg: while driving, u take your foot of the throttle but it wont say "0", sometimes it would say its full throttle and sometimes would sit at different intervals (44, 12, 69 etc etc)

now to clear something up, yes i AM taking m foot of the throttle, and no the idle isnt being effected by it

infact, its not a problem at all untill i want to set the Overrun Fuel cut where it cuts the injectors when the TPS is 0

now its pretty pointless having the overrin fuel cut when the computer never sense the TPS to be 0

iv cleaned the connections to both plugs, yet it doesnt solve the problem

1. has anyone else had the same problem?

2. how much are brand new TPS? (no i dont want second hand)

3. im planning on taking the whole unit off to have a look if anything is out of obvious place, anyone taken theres off before?

Are you sure it's wired correctly ?? - one of the TPS functions/connectors is just an on/off switch (to tell the ECU when the throttle is closed and sometimes also WOT), the other is a variable resistor usually only used with auto's but late R33's may be different.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
