Hi Trevor ,

When my TPS went bad, had a code, I wanted to know what happened to this thing. So I made a 2" x 3" piece of plywood and mounted the tps in the corner with an arm attached to it. Then I marked off equally spaced angle marks about 2' from the center of rotation. I was able to put it back in the same exact position and check readings. I also cleaned it several times and checked to see if that worked. I also checked the new sensor the same way on the board.

They wear out. I think the conductive plastic is not very thick and the wear makes it thinner.

Take care of that SVX,

John
