Re: TROUBLE FREE TPS sensor adjustment. $20

Go ahead and do that. Id'e rather not tear up the back end of the weather pack. Everyone's got a method but personally, I like like the $20 part. Plus,,,,,, I can afford it.

Re: TROUBLE FREE TPS sensor adjustment. $20

I was just throwing out an idea in case you don't want to spend the cash.

I tried the paperclip and it worked great

here's another kit a bit cheaper

I'd try the paper clip method, but I dont want to destroy the rubberized back of the connector. But I think I may go with the link that you provided me with. Thanks for the link bro.

Re: TROUBLE FREE TPS sensor adjustment. $20

You could make one yourself for less than half the price with some replacement connectors from the parts store.

YUP! I agree with you. As a matter a fact, I already bought the neccessary parts at ebay for just $3.50 with free shipping ( http://motors.shop.ebay.com/csccmdpa...=1&_from=&_ipg= ). All I gotta do is acquire some wire, strip and solder 3 jumper wires or T- tap the wire, run the wire into the weather pack ends and done. T-tap connectors are those below in the picture.

It sure looks like those are just the plug halves... I see no mention of the terminals or the rubber boots that seal the plugs. You can buy the complete connectors at most parts stores assembled with a couple inches of wire pigtail.

Re: TROUBLE FREE TPS sensor adjustment. $20

Yeah but this is strictly to adjust the TPS. Im not leaving the home made harness connected anyways. I had so much trouble plugging in wires only for them just to fall out while making adjustments to the TPS. I just got tired of it. So even if these connectors dont have the rubber boots, it'll make my adjustments that much easier.

Re: TROUBLE FREE TPS sensor adjustment. $20

Just arrived today. Everything is included such as the metal tube/needle and the little rubber backing that supports the wires inside the connection housing.

Re: TROUBLE FREE TPS sensor adjustment. $20

Here's a quick glimpse of the TPS wiring that I made. The picture is bad (cellphone) but is viewable. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/post...7-post472.html
