Throttle Position Switches

[Huw Powell]

Hi David,

To answer this question, not many and only a few ;)

It's a microswitch plugged into a TTL ECU, so I'm sure 100 mA would be 
overkill.  If it's good for 20v it can't possible be under-rated.

I dug through my boxes, had one used assembly but only one switch 
appeared to work on testing (the idle switch).  Tried cleaning the WOT 
switch to no avail.

The one in the coupe out in the field tests fine. It was new in 2000, so 
it should!  I'd probably have to pull the throttle body to remove it, 
but I would sell it.

Quick question, though: Have you tried the dealer or aftermarket for a 
new one yet?
