Questions about GReddy oil filter pedestal install and TPS
I finished another round of service last night on the car which included a GReddy oil filter pedestal for oil temp gauge sender. To do this, I reversed my TPS (180 degrees) as suggested by another club member who said it worked fine. Well it didn't for me.
1) I can't adjust the TPS properly, any setting besides all the way back yields too high an idle and my CEL comes on for both high and low values. Has anyone successfully done this or is it just a pipe dream?
2) The fast idle screw wants to occupy the same space as my oil filter now. In all the posts about people using this oil filter housing, noone's mentioned this problem.
Thanks!

Did you flip around just the black top part of the sensor or the whole housing that fits on the throttle shaft? I just flpped the sensor. Not sure what else i can do since it idles too high no matter what position the tps is in this way.

i just flipped the whole sensor like you did:
like i said, i had problems putting it on at first too. all i can suggest is do it a few more times and make sure the tabs are engaged properly. then turn it to adjust to the right specs per FSM. it works on my fd.

What's funny about the TPS is that the plastic tabs have a C-cup shape and you think that the metal part on the throttle is supposed to sit inside the C-cup. It's not. It goes on the outside (totally weird).

it's just a little tricky...
