5 pin tps??? WTF - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

foodawg · 04-13-2007, 04:32 PM

ok so my mechanic said my throttle position sensor has to have 5 pins in it but everywhere i searched said its suppose to have 3 pins.??? ive been having major issues with getting car my running this past few months due to a faulty TPS. My sr20 one that came with the car was messed up so i used a ka24de one but my car still choked and died while idling. a few shops and people tried helping me out but i just ended up buying the wrong throttle body and sensor. they claimed it was the sr20 one but each time i brought it to my mechanic he said it would not work?

it would be great if u guys can help me out here.. thanks.

i saw a 5 pin TPS once on an SR.
turns out it was an automatic.

Yeah, the automatic one is different. Plug and all.

i thought the automatic only has 1 pin?? so would an automatic sensor work for my car then? lol its a 5spd
