TPS sensor board replacement procedure? Options

[Amphicar770]

Hi all,

Before I go down what seems like the obvious but wrong path.

Just got a new tips sensor board from 914rubber.com.

When installing, shouldn't remove the tps assembly from the engine or leave it in place.

I was thinking it may need to come off but don't know if that opens a can of works in terms of linkage,gaskets, etc.

Thanks,

Mike

Had her out today (gotta love having AC on a 95 degree day).

What a huge difference this little part makes. Running so very much smoother.

This is one of those items that makes you thankful for forums like this and vendors like 914rubber. I wonder how many FI systems got scrapped over the years because mechanics could not diagnose something like this (I couldn't if it were not for these forums). I have all the records from new on my 914. Some years back it was in Nevada and the PO spent a ton of money trying to pass emissions, probably a treadmill test. I wonder if it was this part all along? We don't have emissions in PA for antique vehicles (yeah) but this part was well worth replacing. I may buy a spare to have with the car for some future owner.
