Its an auto and to it looks like a tps on the opposite side of the carb to where the throttle cable is..
Or is it something different than a tps?

It is a TPS as such but its only for the Auto trans on board computer or control unit. It has no effect on engine tuning on a TB42s (carby model) as these engines don't run an on board ECU (Engine control unit).Quote:

hmmm well i havent touched the tps as yet but gonna start it this morning and see if it runs till warm. if so then i know it can run and i would again suspect the head gone after warm up but it a brand new reco one? one thing i did think is when i did the tappits i adjusted them to 0.017 inch instead of 0.015 inch as recomended to give the tappits extra room for heat expansion when warm. The manual that i have says to adjust to 0.008 when cold which is smaller so it doesnt exactly make much sense to me. It still wouldnt really explain the not idling though would it?
I had to adjust mine - did it manually under trial and error till it was changing correctly ... 0.69 volts once I got it spot on ... That said, mine is a Pintara TPS!! Dodgy as!! lmaoQuote:

Maybe i should run some chemiweld and that other head gasket stuff in the bloody thing and piss it off. Ive never had any luck whatsoever with nissan 4wd's I love em but they must think im the funeral director.
Yeah but as you said, that was to try & sort out your autos shifting issues. This guy is trying to sort out engine tuning problems.Quote:

I think there is but I'd need time to search for it.Quote:

I can clearly see your pretty hard on the hunt to get this sorted so I'll try getting to it asap & I'll give one of the other members a call to look over it as well to help give some sort of direction. He is a top bloke & an even better mechanic.
Stay tuned.
thanks mate I really appreciate the effort any questians you need to ask to decipher whats happening, please do ask!
