Member's setup - wtf is this?!

Have a look at Whyteboy22's TPS setup:





I don't know what to tell him, other than some joker decided to cut out the plugs and use connectors.

Is it just me or are there 2 TPSs in there? I haven't seen anything like this before...

Any thoughts on how he could set the TPS?

s5's have two TPS's
it looks like the plug might have broken and they had to redo it with crimpers.

As far as setting the TPS goes, maybe you'll have to splice in your own plugs. Hopefully, it won't be difficult to do. The plugs should be available at a local electronic parts supplier - grab your yellow pages.

Another pic, since I have it. Thanks, r>p.

if you want to retain some sort of stock apearance...you could go to a junk yard and find a car that has a connector with that many wires. Then cut it off and splice to your harness. at leat you would ahve a connector and not crimp deals.

Lot of soldering but...it would be clean

there is an s5 down at the junk yard near my house. car is mostly complete. i could stop by there and see if the tps with harness is on there. i'm sure i could walk out of there with it for less than $10 if it's still there
