    Help Wiring 6-pin TPS

    I'm hoping for some help, please, with how to get the 5V reference for a 6-pin TPS on a manual transmission car.

    I want to wire a 6-pin TPS (correct polarity, AEGS M20 part) so I can feed the DME and also data log throttle position.

    I'll just reuse the wires from the switch part, obviously.

    I have studied the pins in the ETMs and see that I need a reference 5V for the variable part. The signal will feed into my data logger, and ground I can figure...but, does anyone know where I can/should get this 5V from?


    Why, you're asking? I'm overly curious and a glutton for punishment. I have a Zeitronix ZT2 that will log AFR, throttle position, and RPM.


    My car has been running lean since I undertook a 2.7 stroker/cam/9.5:1 compression build a couple years ago. I assume I should just put an MSPNP on it with the simpler 3-pin M50 TPS...but, I want to know a bit more about what's going on before I just give in and scrap the factory management.

    I’m also interested learning on the six- pin TPS. I have one on of my e30’s. It is a 1991 s38 b36 the ecu is MSII.

      Your 5v reference should come from your logger, as should the 5v ground for the TPS.

      If the switches are in common with the DME, then logger ground should be bonded to DME
      logic ground. If not, then it no matter.

      Shoot us a part number for this 6 pin TPS?

      I too have found that throttle position is very valuable once you start looking at data...
