Fred, Danny etc, TPS question

[bomber]

I went into Renault today and all they could come up with is a poor diagram of a ph2 fbw diagram and no way of finding out wether I can buy a throttle position sensor on it's own. He is saying it's the whole tb or nothing at all, without a part number.

I need it for a ph1, it's the last thing to replace before I give up lol

Are you guys able to help/look on the systems you have?

 

[sophiesdad]

No , only with the throttle body from renault.

 

[The Boosh!]

Whats your reg?

 

[Fred@BTM]

speak to Matt @ TDF, he can get them

 

[bomber]

Cheers guys, will speak to Matt

 

[bomber]

For reference if anybody searches this thread, AT Power supply the marelli throttle pot for 172, bang tidy

 

[Rob]

Giving the TPS a go then? Decat next?

 

[bomber]

Decat on Saturday still, about 4 years too late! Then I'll see wether it's the lambda or TPS playing up, can't be much left after that

 

[Rob]

Not know anyone local with a ph1? Try bolting their throttle body onto yours?

 

[sideways danny]

It's a Marelli PF1C, same as a saxo and a few other renaults. I've got a few used ones

 

[sideways danny]

do you not have the software for your ECU? very easy to tell whats going on by just looking at the live data

 

[bomber]

Danny, I've got the software but am waiting on data cable at the mo, will be plugging it in ASAP.

Rob, I can borrow one off Adey's Clio normally but struggling to find time when were both free etc, it's only the sensor rather than whole tb I need to test luckily

 

[Rob]

IIRC the sensor is rivetted on, so if you were just going to swap to test it, it'd be quicker just to unbolt the TB.

 

[sideways danny]

not rivetted, it's just 2 torx screws

 

[Jay Payne]

Come and get my cable now then you plum. whats wrong with it anyway?

 

[bomber]

Lol Jay, I'm too lazy this week hah!

Sitting at 50mph etc in 5th gear at a steady rpm and it's slightly jumpy, it's as if it has lumpy idle but at a greater rpm. Is fine on throttle of any kind, but you can't sit at a steady 70 on the motorway with it.

It's not very much at all, passenger may my even notice it but I do.

Saying that, I might pop over with it in a bit...

 

[Jay Payne]

pop over if you want and we'll stick the lapotop on and see what we can see

 

[Adey.]

dude pop in if you get chance ive got that cleaned ph1 tb you can try and it has a tps on it, remind me because i cant remember does it run fine with the lambda turned off?

 

[Jay Payne]

hes just left mine. TPS is working fine but Lambda isnt. Not sure if its wiring or the sensor.

Put it back into open loop and he said it seams better. Was cal'd with it off so no problems there, just need rid of the cat now.

First time ive been in it, Nippy little bus that

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^oh yeh! :evil:

Not long to get it all sorted Mr bomber!

 

[bomber]

As Jay says, it's back to how it was a month ago which is good, either I'm having bad luck with lambda sensors or my wiring isn't right somewhere. Cat is coming off on Saturday so should be all set for Bedford next Friday hopefully....with a new set of tyres.

Cheers ade, I stripped my tb down the other week and wet&dry'd it all etc, so much smoother now

 

[Adey.]

is the cat causing a problem? let me know when its off bud i might need to borrow it for an mot. dan did bomber give you my present?

 

[bomber]

i doubt theres anything left in the cat anyway lol. im having it chopped up with new flanges mate, unless you chop your decat pipe with a new flange it wont fit welcome to borrow it come MOT time however.

Nope dan hasnt got it yet, i had forgotten it was in the garage until i had a clearout on monday

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I'm intrigued.........

 

[Adey.]

cool beans no bother, got you something a few weeks back to show my uber love for you lol

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

awwwwww thanks

Hopefully we can organise that shoot sometime soon

 

[Adey.]

shoot? you want me to man shoot? on you? what? eh? lol yeah bud defo
