93 Legacy throttle issues

el_freddo - there are no melted tabs on the back side, but there are a couple of brass rivets (see attached photo). Maybe those are what he drilled out?

I've also attached a shot of the tabs I mentioned earlier on the back end - opposite the end with the connector.

Hmmm… I’ll have to look into that further as it was well over a decade ago that I played with one of these in this manner! 

I feel like it’s the rolled brass ones but I’m really not sure.

Yeah, I'd think the rolled brass rivets would be the ones that have to be drilled out.

FWIW there are two holes in the cover that line up exactly with those rolled brass rivets - and if you look down into the holes with a bright light you can see brass in the bottom of the holes. See attached picture

That looks like some very useful info. When it says pin #1 to "body" does that mean pin #1 to ground - or to the metal of the throttle body - or is that one and the same thing (i.e. the throttle body is grounded to the rest of the vehicle).

Not sure, I guess it means chassis ground.

I'll be in the Colorado Yards the next couple of days.  93 3 pin TPS? 

If I see one do you want me to pull it and mail it to you?

Thanks for the offer. Mine is a 4-pin TPS, so I'm guessing the 3-pin version won't work.

One I saw this last week were 4 pin.  I should have pulled one for you.

I'll be back in the yards this week.  Let me know if you want 1 or 2 of them.

How much are they asking for them? If the price is right I'd take a couple.

$19.75
