You can use one of the S5 TPSs on a S4. you just have to disassemble the whole thing and mount it in the S4 bracket, then swap the plugs.

and set the throttle body??? They are pre-set.



And you bump has been deleted. Bumps are forbidden here in the 2nd gen tech section as well as it would be considered rude when someone bumps in less than 24-48 hours anywhere.

sorry, my car has been pissing me off for the last 2 weeks and i wanted an answer. icemark i dont know if you've read my other post on how my cars been acting but today i unpluge the TPS and the connecter looked like **** so i cleaned them with electric cleaner and so far its running good. my questions is do you think my previous problems could have been to a bad TPS connection or do you think its something else.
in advance thanks

I'd probably also meter the TPS, making sure that it is okay, and set correctly

guess what i didnt swap them but i did fix my car, the connector for my tps wireing was so nasty the tps's signals must have been cutting out as i was driving. which would make sense because it would flip out and i would give it gas, it would run lean while deceling because their was no more gas than what an idile pulls. i cleaned the plug connectors and its ran fine all day, so tomorrow im getting another can of electric cleaner and im gonna hit every connector i can.
i love this stuff.
thanks
