A little Help for a VW guy: Throttle position switch
Gentlemen,
I am currently building a VW 1.8T engine with a standlone management. The Throttlebody I purchased, made by STR, requires a Honda Throttle position switch. Apparently, this switch is not available separately, which I found out AFTER I bought the throttle body.
Is there a source for these switches (I was told all 92 up switches are the same)? If not, anybody have one lying around they are willing to sell? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated

TPS = throttle position sensor. They're all identical pretty much from '88+. Get one from an engine with multipoint fuel injection and you're good to go.

Okay..now where do I find one? I'd rather avoid junkyard searching, but Iguess I'll have to if no one sells tham.

Okay, one of the forum members was kind enough to sell me a TPS. Works just fine. Now I need 2 more. Anybody have some?

yes, doesn't that mean I will get 3 times as much power?
Actually, I'm building 3 1.8T engines
