Reading throttle position sensor voltage

Short of removing some insulation or sticking pins through the insulation is there an easier way to get voltage readings from the tps?

Any ideas welcomed

Cheers

Chirp

I have a chirp on tickover (cold start) my plan was to investigate the no1 manifold stud.

Today i wound my window down and noticed as soon as i pressed the accelerater it went,pulled up at the first junction and it returned,pulled away and it went again.

Any ideas?

Wow!!

I said i'd update on another thread..though i think it would have been missed by many.

I cannot believe how much difference a new atf filter and atf fluid change has made!

I was suffering from jerky gearchanges especially 1st to 2nd gear quite fierce infact and throughout the drive everything felt ...

Re: Atf sump filter purchase recommendations please

No debris ..i stared at it for a good while trying to decide if it was made that way, i can only assume that the fluid pressed the gauze against the metal cross bar and over time caused it to split it was a perfect straight line and one side was coming over the bar which supports my theory.

Re: Atf sump filter purchase recommendations please

Cheers,that was the only place i have found them,i've ordered one £50.00 painful..though after nearly 25yrs it's probably due one,should be cheaper than a new box!

As an aside i've been researching and a common cause of a hard shift 1st to 2nd which seems quite common with Bongo's is due to ...

Re: Atf sump filter purchase recommendations please

Yes the atf fluid strainer,i've cleaned it and one of the gauze's looks like it's split a little (smaller of the two visible) it also looks like a film has built up on the gauze so i suspect there will be similar internally.

While it's off, i figured it would make sense to replace it

Re: Cobra 8510 immobiliser

Brilliant! Nth..that's a big help and yes it is a diesel i've been quoted £90 all in by a Thatcham approved fitter so i'm trying to get my head around whether to fit it myself to save a few quid,where possible i try to do everything myself.

Thanks again

Lca fitting query

Having read up it has been suggested that i take an ignition switched live feed from fuse 7 (window blinds) straightforward...but!

I intend to fit a swap loom fed from a vsr/split charge system and 2nd battery which would then have a permanent live feed to ...
