Am I missing wiring on my TPS?

[kasanoff]

hey all

just a quick one - check out the pic...

should there be wires coming from the plug in the sensor on the right?

There are some extra wires connecting to the bottom of the sensor, my car's running fine, no idling issues - so i'm assuming it's working correctly.

But it's just bugging me that it's not hooked up there to anything...

I've seen 2 wiring harnesses there on other pics of engine bays...wondering if that's something i'm lacking. or is that something only specific to S2 'lines (i've got a S1)...

thanks in advance

they are to hook up to your nitrous controller so the system can squirt the gas in at 2/3 throttle. j/k

no mate, if u find a pic of an auto ull find it has wiring there, its a the TPS plug for the auto, so it knows when to kickdown.

Are you trying to have a lend of us? (two.06l, you certainly are!)

The plug (without the wires) is the Throttle Position Switch, which tells the ECU that the throttle is closed or WO. The other is the Throttle Position Sensor, which tells the ECU exactly how much throttle is being applied.

The engine should be idling quite high, because the ECU can't sense the 'throttle close' state.

You would be correct, I am having a lend of Youse....lol

It's the same on pretty much every series one RB25 i've seen. Including mine.

It actually has a blanking plug on it so no problem. If it had no plug then i'd be concerned.

Mine works fine, though i know where blind_elk is coming from as my rb20 had both wired in and if plugged in then it is simply an open/closed switch.

thanks for putting my mind at ease guys

My RB20 has wires coming out from here and it is not an auto. Dunno where you got that auto info from.
