Scotty Dont Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Does it even work properly? Just because it fits in the location doesn't mean it will have the proper resistance for a given throttle possition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Response? if your tps fails like mine did u will learn it is almost impossible to find a working one new or used, basically just an other option as a replacement, i decided to think outside the box after 4 months of searching for a tps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Quest Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Does it bolt right up with the plates you made? Have you wired it in and tested it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 The SQ TPS IS still available. You just have to know where to look. 89-90 Hyundi Sonata 2.4 uses the same TPS sensor just with a male plug instead of a female like the SQ. Swap the plugs and it's a perfect fit. RockAuto has them for $78.

Scotty Dont Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Rock auto nor anywhere else I looked ever had the sonata tps. Luckily I have a few in good condition now but no g54b to put them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aknorthstar Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Well rock auto sells the stock TPS but does anyone want to pay 176.89...... STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS Part # TH249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Haha, it's just a plate to allow the new sensor to bolt up, not difficult to make one yourself at all. Great job Mike, looks good. Almost all TPS's are going to be a 5v sensor, and almost all throttle plates are going to be 0 to 90 degrees, so in theory they'll work just fine as long as you can get the idle voltage set properly. I've used a Ford TPS that didn't need an adapter plate. Forgot what it was off of though. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 86 starion on RockAuto still has a listing for TPS as a Airtex/Wells replacement. There catalog shows no TPS available for any other year SQ whether it be Mitsu, Dodge or Chrysler. It's $158 and I just got off the phone with RockAuto and their computer shows airtex has them in their warehouse. It would be shipped directly from Airtex.
