ok i having trouble with me wagon its vr 5 speed it keeps fking the tps sensor keep getting code 22 it wont idle it will stall every minute sometiems it almost stalls but basically its running really really rough ive changed 3 tps sensor in a month after i change em it drives great for 2 days then one morning it will decide to fk up again im really over this car am i doin something wrong ? its not driveable and i need it ffor work there no throttle responce wat so ever engine light comes on and off because of code 22 why does it keep doing this?mite have to bite bullet and get whole new throotle body?cheers
Sounds like you have a short in your circuit somewhere. As these don't have a fuse, if there is a short it will short out the Sensor first.
As FstStig says, you could have a wiring problem. Check your wiring between the throttle body and the engine wiring harness and also check the quality of the connector. Make sure that your throttle cable is not too tight. If you push the cable there needs to be 10-15mm of slack.
I suggest taking it to an auto electrician and having them put a multimeter on it and check for a short in the circuit somewhere. By the sounds of it you are only looking at the TPS end, the circuit doesn't stop just there, it also runs back to the ECU, But before it does, I think it may run the IACV as well... But don't quote me on that one.
ok update change throttle body to a new one mate had gave it to me still the same symtons had a mate thats a electrician come have a look couldnt find the problem check al the wires and computer no go hmmm bloody thing would bad computer do this still getiing engine light and code 22 this is getting vwery anoying
Have you tried clearing the codes out of the ECU? Disconnect the negative off the battery for about 10 - 15mins.
You may need to try changing your ECU, note that you need to transfer the PROM (sometimes called a Memcal or Chip) from your existing ECU into the new ECU.
or it wouldnt be the ecu..the car idles high low struggles to not stall then high low then stalles then start does it but doesnt stall took it for a drive and it has slight miss threw gears bit like slight jerk and engine light keeps goin on and off same ol code 22 over it any ideas plz would an alternator cause this or ecu ?
you could test the altenator by checking if its charging your battery. i would have thought (but im no expert)that an altenator problem would have a slower effect as the battery fails to charge
ok up date up date i forgot to tell u me speedo stoped working i dont know what speed im doin changed dash cluster to a working one same problem also noticed on the ecu has a bit of green corion on the wires above the white plug maybe just maybe if i clean that it will work again?also while back when did mounts the lights stayed on we disconected battery and still stayed on so left it with battrey pluged off then in morning pluged the battery back on and lights were off? so m guessing hopefully the corrision around the ecu is causing all thius over time?
