knowing nissan they will be a common one which they probley fit to many vechiles. have a hunt around for prices as it should not be exspencive. i know toyota surf guys that where useing tps off toyota cars for 10th of the price. so shop around.

Is yours 3 or 6 wire? Might have one here you can have, not sure if its any good, but worth a try if you like.

Hi dave,

6 wire, and I would be greatfull if you have a spare at least to try and then we can talk money this auto has plagued for a while now I have replaced the computer still the same, I was on to the auto trans people in Nelson today they susjested the TPS as it is a comen problem with the GQ's.
TWEAKE, said that they can be changed from other 4wd's or cars as long as it was 4 speed overdrive, It would be interesting if any one else knows of another TPS change over, and I like the idear of it being cheaper

Good luck finding a second hand unit that is OK. They are probably the first thing that goes wrong and so most second hand ones wouldn't be worth paying for. I bought a new one from Nissan a couple of years ago and that was about $350. After changing TCU and TPS I found it was actually a wiring fault but the TCU was saying TPS. Just a word of warning before spending the money.

[minefield]

Yes I have been told the same, Possible wiring problem, How did they go about finding the problem ???, I would like to cover all avenues be for I start spending money.
