what cars tranny are you talking about(same year as your car pro lx?) and why change over the tps plug? is it 3 or 4 wires? and for the ecu can i get away with an apexi s-afc and a dohc pro lx ecu?<BR>ive got a SOHC so things are a little dif. i think.<BR>thanx in advance.

the tranny is out of a 90-94 DOHC 5sp. i have to switch the tps plug cause i have the 4 wire but the plugs arent the same size. one is bigger than the othe but not by much. well the ecu im using is the mx-3 one that i originally had but i had it reprogrammed with the bpt engines fuel maps and etc... they have the reprogrammed ones at corksport for like 279.00 kinda pricey but considering you will be running like the car should stock i figured its a better place to start at. as for the s-afc im not sure if it will work since mine was the dohc and people have had problems with the install on that type of mx. so i did the reprogramming and when someone figures it out if i havent gotten a stand alone (dont know which one yet though) then ill get that and put it in.

90-94 DOHC MX-3? or Protege? and is it possible to switch the throttle bodies to make it a 3 wire instead of the 4 wire? like, say, puttin a 3 wire TB from an older protege on to be compatable w/ my sensor?<BR>cuz i dont know how you go about changing a 3 wire tps to a 4 wire.<BR>thanx for the reply<BR>oh yeah and lemme know about the torque steer when u get it drivable.

its out of a protege. sorry i forgot what i was talking about when i said that . you can but i chose to keep the bpt throttle body and the shop got my tps plug to work but he said that it didnt just plug right up but it did fit.and it works. well the throttle body and tps plug thing im not to sure of so i would recommend calling derrick cause he told me i had the four wire tps and that makes it a lot easier. so a three wire i have no idea what you need to do. no prob i definately will give you some feedback when i drive it.
