hi. can anybody tell me if there's a difference between a red tps and a black tps apart from the colour. thanks jono

 

The colour?

On what a RST?

 

Most likely diff colour as diff make ?

Red TPS = 2WD PF01
Black TPS = 4WD PF09

BUT PF01 (2WD) CAN ALSO BE BLACK!!!!!!

They are different in the way they work but i am not sure the technical side

Maybe someone else can explain for ya and me

 

and a PF09 can also be red

 

The PF01 and PF09 swing the voltage for the TPS reading in opposite directions to each other ie, one goes from 0v to 5v, the other goes from 5v to 0v

 

Due to a cock up at weber marelli no doubt!!

I think it was one of those 'fag packet' or 'dinner table' plans

 

its my 4wd cossie. it has a red tps on it but just got another throttle body with a black tps(pf09) on it. just wondered if it made a difference if i just put it straight on?

 

It'll say on the TPS what it is, whether it's a PF01 or PF09.

As long as that numbers the same, it'll run fine

If it's not the same, you'll need to swap them over, as the two are wired differently and work differently. 4x4 Cossies have PF09s because they have L8 ECUs - so check the number and you'll be sorted

 

cheers mate. by the way the new throttle body has a brown act sensor tapped into it. do you know how they are wired up?

 

I bet you won that on ebay I think I was watching it

If it is the same one, the previous owner stuffed it in there for antilag control or something...

 

this ones off a group a rally escort. didn't win it tho got second chance cos he had 2. but yes its off ebay. it doesn't look any different to the one i've got on except there's a hole drilled in the butterfly and the tps is a different colour.
