Default Quick question !

What would it do if the 2 outter wires on the tps had been changed to use a 2wd item & then you fitted a 4wd one & not swapped the wire back cos you forgot ?? Would if flame alot ??

L8 ecu on a 4wd loom

Cheers

P.s. I know to use the other tps you have to swap the wire but never understood why ?? Guessin the range works oppersite for each sensor ??

Well mine does

The original engine was on 2wd tps (red one TF01 I think ?) & when I got this engine it was on 4wd tps (black/grey one TF09 i think ?) and only jus realised the wire were swapped for the 2wd tps.

How do I check if they are the right way round ??

jb

P.s. cheers for the reply

If teh signal is inverted it will run leaner than wanted at low throttle positions and vica versa.
