Difference Between 3-Pin and 4-Pin TPS

Post by Nacho »

Been searching all day and can't find sh*t. I've got a few throttle bodies lying around and have both 3-pin and 4-pin throttle positions sensors. Not sure which to use because I don't know what the actual extra pin does.

Any ideas?

+ = 5 volts
O = output
S = switch
- = ground

Thanks. So will it make any difference if I use a 3-pin or 4-pin TPS assuming I correctly adjust it?
