trying to get to the bottom of my erractic idling so thought I would check the TPS out only to find two electrical connections with green corrosion on and the top connection complelty gone , I think due to heavy corrosion is this correct? if so could this one connection missing cause the idling ploblems?

If so is thier an easy solution to replace just the inside conector instead of having to buy a whole new sensor

any suggestions much appreciated

Get your soldering iron out. And if you don't have one then I'm sure someone will help you out. Roughly where are you based ?

Yea I have a soldering iron though I first tried it with compressed tin-foil I don't know how you would do it with a soldering iron its the connection that goes into the metal pin, ALL THATS around it is plastic its completely disintegrated. There is nothing left of the connection, although the other two pins one small and one the same size those connections are completely fine I'm totally baffled? Anyway I tried that also taking a bunch of connections of and finding the rest of them didn't need cleaning, why would just this connection just disappear like this?

thanks rob b

The connector directly onto the body of the TPS only has two connections The three wire connection is on the flying lead that comes out of it...

thanks for the clarification, as it doesn't exist why is there one pin going into nothing

cheers? rob b
