Sorry, "seniors" should not be permitted to multitask! Corrected the link.

TPS is Throttle Position Switch. Sort of unobtainium in new form these days. The one for sale fits 1.7's only - but it IS new! Good collctor parts if the price doesn't go whacko, which it will.

although a fine item, i think one for a 2.0 would be more desireable and produce a higher price. note the lack of bids. i'm sure the seller is disappointed right now

I was the ONLY bidder, yet stole this part for 29.95. Recieved it & it is truly a brand new part. Though I have 3 restored others, this one is new & I'll keep it forever (I'm a 1.7 guy).

Yep...I got the one from the same seller for the NOS 73-74 2.0L

At 136 George Washingtons, still a bargain on an NLA part.

Jeff,

Just think 5 years down the road, assuming we don't need them (& I doubt it). More & more people are retrofitting FI to 914's. Bits & pieces get lost. We both made excellent buys!

I just bought and installed a new 2.0 liter TPS last year. Really made my throttle response more smooth... I forget the price but it was from a vendor like Pelican or GAF... All gone now?

Only thing left to make my EFI complete and basically new is a Bowlsby harness. Eventually, I will rebuild my original 2.0 liter and set it on a shelf for posterity. Car is currently 2270 powered.

I really never thought I'd worry about the original FI components on my 72, and I still don't. BUT, since I've garnered every one in new form during the last 2 years, why not replace all the old with new. Injectors, TPS & all ancillaries. Everything removed (except the TPS) will be refurbished & stored as spares. Tried my hand at micro-refurbishing a couple of TPS's & they came out near perfect, but since i scored a brand new on on the cheap, I'll use that.

No 2270, just a factory-original, all numbers matching 1.7. Didn'r pick these up as anything other than maintenance parts.
