cheers dude - i wanna pick up the 5v signal from it - is that simple enough - i mean are there just three wires or a plug or something that i can connect too?

 

[m0rk]

Not sure to be honest.... I'm sure there's a better 5V supply though?

Cheers again dude.

What I really meant is i want to pick up the 0 to 5v analogue output from the tps - do you know what the thing looks like , schematic would be cool

what model of leon have you- engine wise,i know the PD diesel versions have an electronic throttle ( drive by wire) which has a module on the actual pedal ,

Hey up chap - yeah its a 1.8 2000 turbo sports -

 

[stoneyfordNI]

do you know if you have a throttle cable or drive by wire , throttle cabled cars will have a TPS on the throttle body ,whereas drive by wire car will have the 0-5v signal at the pedal

do any of the 20V turbos come with a wire? I don't think they do?
