TPS Sensor help!

What color is the TPS on the 2k2's; where is the ECU

Those ought to give you some help, not sure how much though.

You "think" it's the sensor.......you better make damn sure......what codes have you? P0222 and P0223 are the associated fault codes. Unless you've gone into fail safe, then I doubt that this is your problem. The sensor is incorporated into the throttle actuator and if it's actually the "TPS", you're looking at a throttle actuator replacement. Checked for loose connectors, bare wires, corroded grounds etc.? Have you disconnected/reconnected the connector on the TB?

Not just the throttle motor and electronics assembly itself (as you can't buy those from Nissan) but a whole new throttle chamber. Pricey from Nissan, cheap(er) from a junkyard.

OP could also have a faulty APPS or two, but who knows until he gets back with the code...

OP: PM me if you need a throttle chamber, I can help with that.
