Fixkick et al----Seven months into this hot wire fix, all is well with this fix as described, 7000 miles so far, no further issues. I did go on Ebay and found a very small digital voltage regulator, adjustable, 1/2" x 3/4", which can replace or augment IC 6 (or IC7?) and provide 5 VDC to the TPS.
Question for Fixkick: The diagnostic code set indicated the TPS failure, BUT...will the failure of IC6 to provide power to the TPS be shown as that same code? I am starting to suspect the TPS is OK, and it was the IC 6 failure which caused the TPS code, ( I think it's 21,22). Thoughts on this? Thank you in advance.
