Spencer87 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Brand new to the subie world, I was doing some digging and kept reading that its rare the TPS goes so before I buy anything I wanted to throw this to the forum. CEL came on, throwing a TPS error (I didn't jot it down). Reset it at the shop and 12 hrs later back on (same day). I was shifting her around 3/4000 rpm with a little spirt for about 10km when the light came back on. Idle sometimes drops back down to 5/600 but quite mainly around 1100 right now. I'm going to go through the Haynes Manuel that I got tonight but experience is the best tool. Btw, it's a 97 legacy GT Sedan, just got it as a winter car but may become more of a daily.

SpecBamf41 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 look up how to adjust it. the voltages may be just a hair to close to being outside the defaults and it gets a cel every now and then.. BNR18g on 93oct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I don't know if this applies to your particular model but I posted the FSM procedure on the TPS here: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/turbo-power-mode-issue-192937.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer87 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Not sure if it does - my 97 is NA. still running into issues after the shop, I was experiencing some weird behavior with my skyline when I first bought it as well (idle/accelerating etc) and resoldering MAF did the trick. I think I saw the same type of box near the intake - I'm going to open it up to see if the same trick works twice. Otherwise looks like I get to buy a new TPS sensor, unless anyone knows where you can get the entire throttle body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I have a spare TPS and a spare complete throttle body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer87 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Music to my ears. Where about are you located? Talkataps not letting me view your profile I'm gonna give the soldering a shot first but plan b beats list price even at the dealer price. Feel free to PM me.

monkeyposeur Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Not sure if it does - my 97 is NA. The FSM procedure I posted is for the 90-94 models, turbo and NA. That's the reason I didn't know if it was the same for a 97. I would imagine it would be. But kennyfvholla is legit if you want to buy his.

Spencer87 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 yeah I might just replace it - kennyfvholla, what kind of condition are both pieces in? Im just trying to decide if I really need the entire throttle body as mines in good shape, and the only real electrical part is the actual TPS right? Thanks for the insight and info monkeyposeur, and for the reference, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 You are right spencer87. Some people just swap over the a whole new intake mani w/tps because it is quick and easy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBamf41 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Sometimes its better to not ever take the tps out. I still never got my old one working again. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2 BNR18g on 93oct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two complete intake manifolds, one with the messed up throttle body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
