I was just trying to show the difference between a new and old style sensor in case someone didn't know. My engine cam...

TPS voltage differences

Ok I searched and I wanted to know if there is a difference in voltages between the new and old style tps sensors becuase I cant get mine to work. The square looking one came with the wiring harness in my car, but the rounded newer style one came with my TB(Jspec BP). So I tryed swapping the square ...

Check for intake leaks, especially on the bottom of the hose, check the vaccum hose on top near the throttle body. Mine car had the same problem so I unplugged the IAC and it would start and run, but run rough when I gave any gas. then I unplugged the tps and it ran better! lol but I also had to swa...

So do I have a wire that is screwy ...

I have the exact problem on my swapped BPZE. It buzzes VERY loud and I swapped tps sensors, and used the ics GND step by step to no avail. then i just adjusted the idle the incorrect way on purpose and the noise stopped but would start after a couple seconds. Im soo confused on this one and i cant k...

The engine did not have the disty from japan so thats why when i ordered one and it fit the motor, i didnt think anything of it.(again I know nothing about miatas). The new motor is a 93 DOHC and my mx3 is a 93 SOHC. However since i did order this engine on ebay, they could have easily sent me a pro...

Mine is a 93 but i dont know much about miatas so i cant tell you mu...

no cracks in tubing. I did find something important tho. my water temp sensor wires are not plugged in...but unfortantely, I cant find the wires in the harness that lead to the sensor :shock: . the harness is from a junkyard so that could explain why. Also hooked the injectors up to a noid light. #4...

vacuum is all good. when I unplug the tps wires altogether, it starts running better(somewhat)...mmm but it still isnt quite right and the humming still continues.

Well I know the injectors are perfect cause Ive replaced them and its from a manual and uses a 4 prong, its just a oval cap instead of rectangle shape. I will check the vacuum and see if thats the case.

I then swapped the two wires but it ran just as bad. the...
