i got 2 sensors out of a 1992 sc300. one was on the throttle (TPS) I believe, and the other was on this secondary throttle thing inline before the actual throttle. Not sure what it is. Anyways, both the sensors look identical, have the same part number, but they have different white numbers on them. They also look slightly different to the TPS in my 1993 sc300. will they work? should I give it a try?
thanks
scott
will put up pictures and part numbers in a bit

*(btw, I forget the site I purchased my TPS at, but I guess that doesn't matter anymore now that you have a TPS.

You did get the real TPS out of the SC300. But you also got the Trac TPS as well. (Traction Control System). The Trac uses a TPS, it will always be to the left of the "real" TPS. If you don't have Traction Control, I don't think you will need it.

You cannot put the trac TPS to were the primary TPS is on the throttle body. The trac TPS spins the opposite way. As long as you identify the Trac TPS, you will be good. That's the reason whenever I get both the trac and the primary TPS's at a junkyard, I put a scratch on the Trac TPS, just so I know. Let us know if replacing the TPS works.

I tried one of them (they both spin the same way and look pretty identical), but the problem is still happening.
NOTE; it seems that the bucking happens when car heats up, it does not depend on wether or not it has been turned off and restarted (it does this now and before the new sensor)
ill try the other one tomorrow but I doubt thats it. Whats up next, the maf?
thanks

anyways, everyone was saying that with the TPS, it would be fine on the first start but only after restarting it would it begin to act up. in my case, it would act up just when it warmed up, it didnt have to be killed and restarted
thanks for all the help
