Hi Folks, I'm all excited! Shocked

As we all know, the dreaded TPS are not available from Isuzu dealers without buying a complete throttle body: kerching!! Evil or Very Mad

However, I've managed to track down a potential supplier. I am just awaiting confirmation of suitability, availability and cost.

Here's the tech sheet:

Will let you know as soon as I hear back from them.

Regards,

MartQ

Sorry again!

The one that sits on top of the throttle body and causes the auto box to change down erratically.

Quick update,

Still trying to negotiate a price for these things.

They can be supplied, minus the Isuzu connector, which would have to be cut off the old sensor and soldered back on the new one, my main sticking point at the moment with these is there is a minimum order of 25 units which may be a little out of my pocket capacity, but will know more when I get a proper quote.

Good job Mart - keep at it.....

There's been at least 25 people on here complaining about the erratic shift and presumably, this complaint will only grow.

Is there any chance of you getting hold of just one and testing it?

Presumably, your supplier is going to have to make/modify something similar?

Believe it or not, it's a fairly standard "off the shelf" item, specifically for motorsports applications, therefore has higher tolerances and withstands temperature differences better than the standard item.

Just waiting to hear back from them.

Just had a look on Demon Tweeks and the only ones they have are specifically for Webber carbs, so pretty sure they won't fit the troop.
