Quick Throttle Body Question (Petrol Xantia)

[Stempy]

I'll have a look into that Stempy. I've a feeling the 4HP20 ECU takes a lot of various signals to come to it's conclusions about which gear to select and when.

Thanks, it would be good to get to the bottom of it.

Have you seen the lastest in my V6 blog? You can see a 4HP20 in bits in my workshop

You are a very brave man. If you manage to mend it I'll keep you in mind if/when mine packs up

AL4 is the same. Road speed, RPM, fluid temperature, mode selection, throttle position, kickdown actuation ("excition" ) and I think somehow - maybe by pressure sensing? - the incoming load via driveshafts (as it doesn't have an inclinometer).

I had a look at SC and the auto box does have a different TPS thn the manual. Maybe it's a double ganged pot?
