antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Hmm... So whenever I put my foot on the accelerator at a certan point (like 2/10th's) open it will struggle and nearly stall. but if you go just under it, and then start accelerating it's fine... I'm sh*t at explaining things... but does anyone have any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 On the crap Falcon ??? Funnily enough the crap falcon does this too... But nope, I'm talking about my E30. Will have a check of the TPS, not a silly idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 It should be turned so that when the throttle is closed, the TPS makes a 'click' sound. I think it's the right way around... as I think it controls the transmission too. (it's got many pins on it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please explain where I can find the definition of "click" in a manual or TIS ???... I'm intrigued An audible click doesn't mean its working and giving the correct signal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 that's true, but it rules out user fitting error... and it worked on the old engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) "click" only means you fitted it correctly... doesnt mean it works.. and sends a signal After all this crap... it may not even be the TPS... AFM can do the same thing.... Just seems to be the same old same old... with similar problems all the time and people not actually doing any tests with the right equiptment and expecting answers. You cannot fix cars with : I think it might be this... or ..try this it worked on my Toyota.. I changed $1000 worth of parts and it was only just a fuse Edited December 21, 2009 by pando Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Righto then, I'll see if I can figure it out here with what I've got.. if not, the local euro mechanic is a good chap. Edited December 21, 2009 by westy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 This is what I originaly put to screen: After all this crap... it may not even be the TPS... AFM can do the same thing....

You cannot fix cars with : I think it might be this... or ..try this it worked on my Toyota.. I changed $1000 worth of parts and it was only just a fuse. Would even help to go and buy a 20 yr old manual to fix a 20 yr old car. and then bring the "real" strange problems onto the forum instead of the same old crap that unfortunately plagues these older cars.
