tps plug

[silva180sx1515]

can someone post a pic of what the plug that goes to the tps looks like. thanks

[Brian W.]

No pic, but its a squared off plug with 3 wires, auto SR uses 5 wires...

[silva180sx1515]

i think i might have gotten a automatic harness. i can't find my tps plug and the one that seems like it should be it is a six prong plug.

[Brian W.]

Sorry, haha... not 5 wire but 6 wire for auto... chances are thats what you have.

[silva180sx1515]

alright, so i'm pretty sure i do have an auto wiring harness. what should i do. i know i'm gonna have to splice the connector for the tps will anything else be effected?

[Brian W.]

you can use an Auto TPS also. Minus the extra wires.

If you have an auto TPS, might as well use the auto harness. I had the auto tps and harness. Got a manual TPS and just spliced the red and green wire together, then use the white and black wire. There are your 3 wires needed for an auto to manual TPS conversion.l

does anyone know where i can get a tps plug?

[loudbay]

i've got one for you, i think, damn i'm a nice guy....

[loudbay]

SPEEDRACER1: i may as well make this a learning experience... so you used a manual tps with an auto wiring harness... hooked blk to black white to white, and the spliced the wiring harness red wire and green wire together and connected them to the last wire..... correct? i'm doing a swap now that i'm trying to figure out how to use the auto tps with the manual harness.... i've guess wht/wht blk/blk and should i use the red and green from the tps to the last wire on the harness too? wow, that felt like i was on crack...

[SpeedRacer1]

On manuals there is a Green wire with Red strip. This corresponds to the splicing of red and green. The others (blue and yellow IIRC) are not used, just tucked away.

cool, thanks

[silva180sx1515]

loudbay, yea man if you got that extra tps plug let me know my email is [email protected]. if you want the automatic tps plug i can give you that one. let me know

[SpeedRacer1]

The plug that directly bolts to the manual TPS (should be a brown one) can also be found on the MAFS of some Nissans. The one that comes to mind is 1997-1998 S14 SR20DET MAFS and S15 MAFS since they are in fact the same MAFS.

wait. holdon. The tps plug only has 3 wires?

I'll be right back *runs down to garage*

[Cyberkreig]

Uhm. Mine has red black white green blue yellow (probably not in that order

[loudbay]

on your harness or tps.... regardless it's for an automatic or hicas model (but you should make note of the good info that speedracer1 gave us above incase they don't match up) .... my sr20 was manual, but with hicas..... so my tps and my powersteering pump were different.... luckily i found some guy who needed the hicas ps pump, so we switched..... kismetsilvia180sx1515: you have mail

[SpeedRacer1]

Cyber you have an auto harness, probably an auto tps too unless you changed it.

My setup is: Manual engine, manual TPS, auto engine harness, auto ECU.

But lets face it, the TPS on the S13 SR's doesnt do much, I drove without the TPS for a year. The other SR's (S14,S15) is where it, makes a bigger difference.

[loudbay]

what happens when you drive with it disconnected?

[SpeedRacer1]

Nothing. Drives the same, the ECU senses the TPS is not connected and instead just relies on the other sensors (ie MAFS).
