4g63 TPS work in 420a ?

[mitecl96]

I am working out my next month plans for my car. I had an idea and I hit a snag. The throttle position sensor in the 420a is a three wire plug, power, ground, and signal. The 4g63 throttle position sensor is a four wire plug. It uses the same three wires but also has a fourth wire for an idle switch that is built in. I and needing that signal form the idle switch for what I am doing. Does anyone know if I would be able to use the TPS from a 4g63. If not how to get that idle switch signal in a 420a.

Thanks.

I'd say something sardonic about Google usually, but I won't.

You can't exactly use a program for one engine type in another engine that is mechanically different and isn't made for a turbo engine timing program...

Holy $%^& I just checked the post date. I'm 2 years late!

Let's see, new member indirectly violates the first rule of this forum, provides incorrect information and to top it off, resurrects a dead thread. Good start.

In case someone else digs this up, the question was about Throttle Position Sensors.
No you can't use a 4G63 TPS on the 420A due to the difference in the Throttle Body.
