5 pin tps??? WTF

[foodawg]

ok so my mechanic said my throttle position sensor has to have 5 pins in it but everywhere i searched said its suppose to have 3 pins.??? ive been having major issues with getting car my running this past few months due to a faulty TPS. My sr20 one that came with the car was messed up so i used a ka24de one but my car still choked and died while idling. a few shops and people tried helping me out but i just ended up buying the wrong throttle body and sensor. they claimed it was the sr20 one but each time i brought it to my mechanic he said it would not work?

it would be great if u guys can help me out here.. thanks.

i saw a 5 pin TPS once on an SR.
turns out it was an automatic.

Yeah, the automatic one is different. Plug and all.

i thought the automatic only has 1 pin?? so would an automatic sensor work for my car then? lol its a 5spd

My SR has an auto TPS and it works fine with a 5 speed tranny.

yeah it sfine unless you have a stick sr harness, if thats the case you just wire it up there is a already a post on here about 2 years old that explains how

mycar does have the stick harness.. im just frusturated and all cause i cant find any info about the 5 pin tps.. everywhere i searched said its 3 pin and my mechanic knows squat about the sr20 so i gotta keep convining him it would work.
