Has anyone had there tps fall apart? the top of mine came off and the thing that spinns on the throttle came out through the top, the return spring to the tps is MIA and i was wondering if there is any way to put it back together where it will work, Thanks

 

sounds like its time to install a potentiometer...

without the spring,it wont function anyway......

 

we have tried potentiometer two times on his ^^^ truck, we had it workin once then finished the install and it pooped out on us, any tricks or tips you guys might have??

 

Yeah ill try thepot. again instead of puttin 300 bucks into a tps, What is the exact pot i need and is there anytricks to puttin it in. Will my cruise control work? will it shift 1-2-3-4 or will it shift 1-2-4 , will it skip 3rd gear if you dont turn o/d off, do you have to turn o/d off when making a stop and turn the button on when wanting it to shift into fourth gear. thanks for the input
